State Convention Theme Revealed
Text Box: Can you believe it’s already 2008 and there is still so much we could accomplish? It’s an election year, and one that has portrayed on the campaign trails to be closely centered around ideas of socialized health care and improving the system we are going to work in. Regardless of whether you want to be that caring labor and delivery nurse or that tough, obsessive compulsive ICU nurse, the changes that are coming to health care, insurance policies, and immigration laws will have a direct impact on your present or future place of work. Many people may not realize it but our convention theme this year is about more than just “Tying It All Together.” Research, education, patient care, compassion, leadership, and integrity are just a few of the qualities and attributes that nurses and other health care professionals must posses to make that positive impact on our patients we all know so well. It’s that feeling of accomplishment when we show our patients just how much we do care about improving their health status and promoting healthy choices. The field of nursing requires so much from us and we have all worked so hard to get where we are, why stop here. (Continued on Page 2)
