Walker was selected as the 2020-2021 TNF TNA District 6 Educational Scholarship recipient. Walker will be graduating in December of 2021 and plans to pursue a graduate degree in nursing. We applaud Walker’s hard work and leadership. Many members joined the Raven Wentworth Nurses Day on the Hill that was held March 2, 2021. Several legislative bills were discussed after a brief review of the legislative process. We encourage members to remain engaged and to continue to form relationships with policymakers.

An event will be created on the FB page, and TNA members will receive an email with the zoom link. We welcome members, nonmembers, and students to attend virtually. As we move forward, our passion is to meet the needs of our District 6 nurses, and so we welcome topic suggestions and input. Please contact us if you’d like more information. Save the date!

Please mark your calendars and plan to attend. District 15 President: Marcia Barnes Greetings from District 15. Welcome to all new District 15 and renewing TNA members! Hope most of you have received your COVID-19 vaccine as we push to put this pandemic behind us. We all know, nurses are resilient, agile, and flexible. These are requirements for our profession and help make us all effective and wonderful nurses. This is even more true during Marcia Barnes these trying times. District 15 held its last quarterly meeting, April 19, 2021, virtually. We had an informative presentation by John Alexander, Attorney, with Rainey, Kizer, Reviere, & Bell Law Firm with offices in Chattanooga, Memphis, Jackson, and Nashville. Mr. Alexander’s practice focuses primarily on the areas of medical malpractice defense, insurance defense, and insurance coverage. He also represents healthcare providers in matters before Tennessee’s various medical Boards and litigates contract disputes. He is a member of the Firm’s Malpractice Group and the Firm’s Tort and Insurance Group. His presentation concerned healthcare liability during the COVID-19 Pandemic. We have two celebrations for District 15 members: Dionne Brady, BSN, RN, CCM, has recently been promoted to Health and Social Services Nurse Manager in the TN Community and State Plan at United Healthcare, and Jeanmarie Hill, RN, CHPN received her certification as a Certified Hospice & Palliative Care Nurse. She works at Alive Hospice. Please remember to share your news and accomplishments so we can celebrate with you and include them in the next issue for District 15. We had a busy legislative session with several bills pertinent to nursing, including the school nurse bill, assault bill, graduate nurse bill, and full practice authority (FPA) for APRNs. FPA was put on the January 2022 agenda. TNA will be hosting advocacy events throughout the summer, so be on the lookout for announcements. Our advocacy efforts are not finished, as we must work diligently for the rest of the year to further our profession. Don’t forget, reach out to your legislators when you receive action alerts. We need to build up our PAC. We are unable to do this successfully without your help. Remember, donate to Tennessee Nurses PAC. Every donation counts.
