Fall Mess

Donna M. Penn, DNP, RN, CNE, NEA-BC
Dear Members and Colleagues,
As fall unfolds and we move into the final month of 2025, the New Jersey League for Nursing remains focused on advancing excellence in nursing education, leadership, collaboration, and recognition. In reflecting on recent milestones and looking ahead with purpose, we celebrate all we’ve accomplished together—as an organization and a dedicated membership committed to excellence.
In September, members of the NJLN Board, our Program Director, and I attended the 2025 NLN Education Summit in Orlando, Florida, where the spotlight was on Artificial Intelligence in Nursing Education. The NLN Summit offered powerful insights into how AI is reshaping curriculum design, simulation, and student engagement. From ethical considerations to practical applications, the Summit underscored the importance of preparing nurse educators to teach in a technology enhanced future. The NJLN remains committed to staying informed on these advancements—exploring how emerging technologies can support our educators and empower the next generation of nurses.
