<strong>2020</strong> Florida Nurses Association<br />
QUIN Council<br />
(Quality and Unity in Nursing)<br />
QQUIN Council maintained activity this year in spite of COVID 19.<br />
The group worked on updating the website and maintaining the QUIN<br />
supported website www.choosewithcare.education to continue to<br />
educate the public about nursing education programs. Stephanie<br />
Phillips of the perianesthesia nurses group took over the reins as chair<br />
and led the group on crafting a statement regarding COVID-19. QUIN also contributes nursing articles to The<br />
Florida Nurse based on important issues of the day.<br />
Prior to this time QUIN revisited the items on the strategic plan to see what issues they might address in the<br />
coming months. They will be meeting virtually at this Membership Assembly and several members of the group<br />
also plan to attend the <strong>FNA</strong> Collaborative Candidate Interviews coming up on September 19.<br />
QUIN continues to invite interested nursing organizations to add their voice to this collaborative think tank.<br />
