The purpose of this American Nurses Association/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (ANA/CDC) White Paper is to inform registered nurses in the United States about the problem of antibiotic resistance and facilitate their embracing an expanded and clearly recognized role in hospital antibiotic stewardship programs (ASPs) and activities. The White Paper is the result of aseries of online meetings, culminating in a one-day live conference with a selection of nurses identified by ANA and CDC as having expertise and/or interest in antibiotic stewardship. The purpose of the workgroup is to explore how nurses can become more engaged and take a leadership role to enhance our nation’s antibiotic stewardship efforts. The first part of the White Paper reviews ASPs and the current state of antibiotic resistance. The second section is a summary of the workgroup’s discussions on current barriers to full nurse participation in ASPs; gaps in nurses’ knowledge and education about antibiotic stewardship; and the use of antibiotics in the 21st century. The third part explores opportunities for nurses to add their expertise to our nation’s ongoing stewardship efforts and offers recommendations for future nursing education.
