Worth a Rewatch: Reset Your Vision for 2026

As the year slows down, it’s the perfect moment to revisit the conversations that help you breathe, reflect, and realign. This past episode offers gentle guidance on reconnecting with your “why” and creating clarity for the months ahead. Let it be a simple reset before you step into a fresh new year.

A Note From Nena

Hi Nurses,


As Christmas approaches, I hope this season brings you a moment to slow down and rest wherever you may be on your journey. Whether this year felt full or heavy, joyful or challenging, you made it through and that matters.


If you find yourself thinking about what is next, NNBA has applications open for 2026 conference speakers, educators, and mentors. If sharing your experience feels right for you, I would love for you to apply. If you would like to be involved in another way, we also have a variety of sponsorship and exhibiting options available.


As for me, I am looking forward to spending time with my family and taking a little pause as well!


I hope you are able to enjoy time that feels peaceful, meaningful, and unrushed.


From all of us at NNBA, Merry Christmas and wishing you a calm and hopeful start to the new year.


Kindly,

Nena

Jasmin Waterman-Parris on Guiding New Nurses Through Confidence, Clarity & Career Growth

Some nurses step into entrepreneurship with a niche. Jasmin stepped in with a mission.


This month, we’re proud to highlight Jasmin Waterman-Parris, MS, RN, NPD-BC, founder of Nurtured Novice LLC, a career and professional development resource dedicated to supporting nursing students and early-career nurses. Through coaching, workshops, mock interviews, and practical tools, Jasmin helps new nurses navigate the transition from student to practice with confidence and clarity.


Jasmin’s work is rooted in her belief that no new nurse should feel lost, unsupported, or unprepared. With a background in nurse professional development, she empowers novices to build strong foundations, communicate with confidence, and step into their roles feeling ready — not overwhelmed. From interview prep to clinical communication skills to early-career strategy, she equips nurses with the tools they need to thrive, not just survive.


Her mission is simple and powerful: to nurture, guide, and uplift the next generation of nurses as they grow into the professionals they’re meant to be.
