A Note From Nena


Hi Nurses,


We're almost halfway through 2026 and I have to say I'm so proud of how this community never stops showing up!


What's been on my mind lately is ownership. Not just business ownership, but owning your direction, your decisions, and your next move. That's exactly what the NNBA Conference in Scottsdale this July is built around and I'd love to see you there. If you've been thinking about sponsoring or exhibiting, time is running out so now is the time to raise your hand.


Speaking of showing up... I'm going live on June 9 with Dr. Dan Weberg, our keynote speaker for Scottsdale, for a real conversation on innovation, AI, entrepreneurship, and where nursing is headed!! Details and link are inside this issue.


You'll also find resources, stories, and opportunities that I hope meet you exactly where you are right now.


Keep going!

With gratitude,

Nena
