First off, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who made NNBA 2025 in Vegas so special!
From the hugs and real conversations to the lightbulb moments, laughter, and even a few tears, everyone that attended brought their whole heart from the very first keynote to the final goodbye, and it meant the world.
To be honest, I was nervous stepping into this year as NNBA’s new president. Hosting my first conference came with a lot of pressure. I wanted to honor our legacy and also bring something fresh. But what happened in those rooms gave me more clarity and inspiration than I could’ve imagined.
You all reminded me why this work matters and just how powerful nurses are when we come together with purpose!
I’m so grateful for every single one of you who traveled, spoke, volunteered, sponsored, shared, taught, and showed up with openness and courage.
And the best part is that this is just the beginning.
We’re already dreaming up what’s next and we’re listening. If you’ve got ideas, keep them coming. This next chapter is going to be built with you, for you.
Thank you for being part of this movement. I can’t wait to see what we all create together.
With love and gratitude, Nena |
