Board meetings are scheduled via Zoom on either the 3rd or 4th Wednesday of the month. For Nurses Week 2022, District Nurses Association (DNA) 4 held a virtual gathering, celebrating both Nurses Week and the reactivation of DNA 4. The event was attended by 13 participants, with introductions and a shared discussion of questions chosen by each participant. Comments included why nursing is a profession and inspirational or memorable moments in nursing. Participants either wore or held something that represented their spirits in nursing, such as a hat, T-shirt, or pin. Overall, we all had a wonderful time as we toasted (with a beverage of choice!) while building our DNA 4 community. The DNA 4 Board of Directors would like to share their bios and encourage joining us as we plan our path forward. Let’s continue the momentum and build a strong and engaged DNA 4 membership!

The last three decades of my life has been spent in the medical profession. I am a dually degreed master’s prepared Registered Nurse with a Master's of Science degree in Management. I've had the honor of taking care of patients as a staff nurse, nurse manager, assistant director of nursing, and director of nursing.
