About the Program

The title of this continuing education series comes from Dr. Jean Watson’s work on nursing’s moral imperative to be the light and bring conscious healing energy to the often-challenging health systems we practice today. There is no better evidence of the importance of “radiating light in times of darkness” than nursing’s incredible commitment, clinical excellence, and healing presence throughout the global pandemic.

Since the inception of the Illumination Series, the Kaiser Permanente Nurse Scholars Academy (NSA) continues to invite world-renowned nursing luminaries to present throughout the year, especially highlighted during Nurses Week. Past nursing icons include Dr. Tim Porter O’Grady, Dr. Jean Watson, Dr. Nelda Godfrey, Dr. Bernadette Melnyk, Dr. Karen Foli, Dr. Sara Horton-Deutsch, Robert Browning from HeartMath®, and Dr. Lisa Summers with Healing Politics.
