NSNA Annual 2023 Convention in Nashville, Tennessee

As the FNSA President, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to attend NSNA National Conference which was held in Nashville, Tennessee April 12th through 16th. As a student who was two weeks prior to graduating it was a difficulty time but well worth it. I have since graduated from Keiser University in Tampa, Florida with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I plan to start working in August and have applied to the St. Joseph’s Women’s Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, a level IV NICU Internship. My experience with FNSA has helped me move forward to reach my goals as a nurse. While I enjoyed the entire conference the Focus Session, I enjoyed most at the conference was Human Milk and Lactation: Translation Research into Practice and Policy.

The conference was an opportunity for nursing students from all over to network and learn together. Florida was well represented at the conference, we had over 130 students in attendance. The Florida Student Nurses Association had 9 Board Members in attendance. The Florida Student Nurses Association received two state awards at the convention. The Core Values Award and the NSNA State Excellence Award. Attendees had the opportunity to participate in a NCLEX Mini Review, House of Delegates, learned and voted on resolutions pertinent to nursing, and participated in focus sessions targeted on high interest areas. There were excellent guest speakers and panel discussions which were very informative.

At the conference we had three Florida members elected to the National Office. Congratulations to Mackenzie Simmons from Jacksonville University who was elected to Imprint Editor, Flynn Almirol from Florida State College at Jacksonville was elected to South Director, and Lakisha Carter from Florida State College at Jacksonville was elected to Nominating and Elections Committee South. Next year's NSNA Convention will be held in Orlando, Florida April 3rd through 7th, mark your calendar to attend.
