Message from the NJLN President, Spring 2025
Donna M. Penn, DNP, RN, CNE, NEA-BC
Dear Members and Colleagues,
Happy Spring! As we welcome the new season—a time of renewal and growth—the NJLN proudly came together for our annual NJLN Convention and Pre-Convention on March 26 and 27 at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City.
As I reflect on the success of our Convention and Pre-Convention, I am incredibly grateful for all that we have accomplished together. This year’s event truly embodied our theme, “The Nursing Journey Continues: Promoting Learning, Connections, and Opportunities.”
The convention was informative and engaging, bringing together nursing professionals from all levels, including nursing students preparing to enter the profession. Every aspect reinforced the strength and dedication of our nursing community.
I want to extend my thanks to everyone who made this event possible, from our attendees, presenters, exhibitors, sponsors, advertisers, supporters, and our incredible NJLN Convention Committee. Your participation and focus were the driving forces behind this year’s success.
