The Nurse s Headliner Page 5 H e w l e t t - P a c k a r d C o m p a n y Message from Your President It is that time of year, elections are here! Please be thinking of running for an office this term. We need officers in order to keep our association going. If you feel you will be able to give your time and talents, please notify our Nominating Committee, Chairman Jeanie Anderson, Co-Chair Charlie Keathley, Barbara Levand, Thelma Washington, and Nancy Clemons. Thank you ladies for making up our committee. Or if you know of someone that would be interested in running for an office, please submit their names. We really appreciate each and every one of our members, and each one of us has something special to offer. Lets make this a good year. Convention is right around the corner, and we have some awesome speakers. So please make your reservations now. The association has been supplying its members with the CNE units for a long time. What a great way to obtain those credits, and get to network with other nurses all around the state. Lets show our students there is life after graduation, and give them insight on what a real nurse does. We need to get our thoughts together for Nurse Day at the Capital for February 18-19, 2019. We as LVNs need to get our concerns into action. We also need LVNs to go to Nurse Day. Please think about going. Remember we can do so much more in numbers than by ourselves! If you have any old medical equipment, please bring it to the convention, as I am going to do a display this year again. Thanks for all you do, and see you at the convention. God Bless each and every one!
