Abstract
The ANA declared 2017 the Year of the Healthy Nurse because nurses average Body Mass Index is 27.6 (overweight), and less than half participate in recommended exercise. Stair climbing burns more calories per minute than jogging. Stair use could improve health and increase activity among students, staff, and faculty.
