<strong>2019</strong> TNA-TSNA JOINT CONFERENCE | NURSES: THE REAL SUPER HEROES<br />
Welcome from the TSNA President<br />
Alyssa Soto, RN, BSN<br />
Welcome to the <strong>2019</strong> TNA and TSNA Joint Conference. I want to personally thank<br />
each and every one <strong>of</strong> you for attending this conference and being passionate about<br />
the advancement in nursing. As nursing students, we have a unique opportunity to<br />
speak change and foster growth in the educational field prior to embarking on our<br />
journey as a registered nurse. TSNA provides us with this platform to gather our<br />
voices together, pass legislation, change school policy, or even state requirements, and<br />
connect with other students across the state.<br />
TSNA provides a platform for connecting students to make a change. As a member<br />
<strong>of</strong> TSNA you are able to meet students from across the state and sometimes, across<br />
the nation. In being here today, you have chosen to grow and make a difference in the<br />
nursing field. I want to thank you for making this choice.<br />
Over the next two days, you will have the opportunity to hear from experts throughout the nursing field, ask<br />
questions to those who may already be working in the field you desire, meet other students embarking on<br />
the same journey, take part in an NCLEX review, and talk with vendors from across the state. Stop by the<br />
TSNA registration table for more information and to see what event is next on the agenda!<br />
