Message from the NJLN President
December 2024
Donna M. Penn, DNP, RN, CNE, NEA-BC
Dear Members and Colleagues,
On behalf of the New Jersey League for Nursing (NJLN) Board of Directors and our committee members, we would like to wish you a very happy and healthy holiday season and new year!
As we reflect on 2024, this has been an exciting year for the NJLN, filled with so many accomplishments that we've achieved together as a professional nursing organization.
There have been many positive impacts from our scholarship awards program, continuing education programs, our Practical Nurse Education Day, and our nurse recognition and DAISY Awards. This is such an incredible testament to the collaboration within our profession to support each other in advancing nursing and healthcare. We are also very proud to have celebrated 109 years in 2024, which is directly attributed to your support as members and to all of our committee volunteers and donors, who enable us to continue year after year.
We hope that you take some time to enjoy the holidays as we gather with our family and friends and ring in the New Year.
We also recognize, as part of the nature of our profession, that some of you will be working to take care of our communities, and we thank you.
Wishing you a safe, healthy, and happy holiday season! May the new year be bright and filled with much joy.
