EXCERPT

Editor’s Note. This month, the Journal of Gerontological Nursing is delighted to feature the life and career of another amazing gerontological nurse leader, Dr. May Futrell. Dr. Futrell is an internationally renowned scholar and educator and a pioneer in the development of the gerontological nurse practitioner program. She has made valuable and sustained contributions to gerontological nursing and is a role model for us all. We are pleased to turn the JGN spotlight on this cutting-edge gerontological nurse, whom I am honored to call a friend and colleague.
