What is the association doing to address the Texas nursing shortage?
In addition to our outreach to young people, our association has a committee that assists chapters launching shortage-solution projects. We will give out awards to the best projects. We also are offering scholarships to our members so they will stay in school and ultimately become practicing nurses. To advance the work of the association, what do you say to nurses in Texas? I commend all working nurses in the state of Texas for choosing nursing as their profession. Nursing is a demanding career, and they are truly special individuals. To nurses, I say please remember the time when you were in nursing school and how challenging it was to complete. In any way you can, give back to students. Some examples to give back include: Take extra time to be excellent clinical mentors to students on your units. We know how busy you are; nurses who spend time helping students to really know nursing are extra special to us. Support the TNSA as a subscribing member. Call (800) 221-8559. Offer to speak
