Several positions are also currently open.
If you want more information about a position, please contact the corresponding board member for more information, or contact Tonya Rosendahl , NEC Chair. During my two years on the board, I was able to meet many people at both state and national conventions that have helped to shape my learning experience unlike anything I was taught in the classroom. I was able to see that there are students out there who are as ambitious as I am about nursing, and their enthusiasm has been infectious. It is through this experience that I learned the importance of politics in nursing and how crucial it is to belong to my professional nursing association upon graduation. You have the opportunity to meet many nursing leaders from all over the United States through this organization.
