Letter from the President

Welcome to the NJSNA Region 6!  I am so honored to be the current President of Region 6 and I look forward to working with nurses from all over the state!  Region 6 covers Ocean, Monmouth, Atlantic and Cape May counties.  We are the nurses of the shore areas and a warm welcome and hospitality are the hallmark of our Region. I was an emergency room staff nurse at Community Medical Center, Atlanticare and Southern Ocean County Hospital before I became a nurse practitioner.  I am currently double boarded as a family and psychiatric nurse practitioner and I see urgent care patients every weekend in Ocean County. I am also a fulltime attorney so I understand the scheduling and shift demands facing so many nurses today.  As Region 6 President my priority focus this year is on nurse wellness.  Over the next year Region 6 will be promoting resiliency in nursing and we will also be championing community based outreach initiatives. Our region is blessed with incredible nurses with a wealth of education, knowledge and experience.  I look forward to getting to know more nurses in our region and I welcome any nurse interested in participating in Region 6 activities and events to reach out to me or a member of our Board! Thank you for doing all that you do!
