Director, Recent Graduates<br />
I took over the position after Hannah Rutherford moved out of state. We have started<br />
a Facebook Page for Recent Graduates in addition to the Mentorship Facebook Page<br />
which has grown to over 200 members. We are planning a virtual meeting to discuss<br />
the impact of COVID 19 on their practice. We hope to engage nurses in this event. We<br />
are also exploring updating the print guide for new graduates to create a digital version<br />
for the website and we also are planning to add more resources to the website for early<br />
career nurses.<br />

thank everyone who has been willing to work with me on this important endeavor.<br />
