Dear NODNA Members,
As we reflect on this past year, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each of you for your dedication, service, and commitment to nursing and our community. Your compassion, leadership, and resilience continue to inspire and uplift those we serve.
As we celebrate the holiday season and look ahead to the New Year, may this time bring you peace, joy, rest, and meaningful moments with those you love. May the coming year be filled with renewed purpose, continued growth, and opportunities to lead, serve, and thrive - both personally and professionally.
On behalf of the New Orleans District Nurses Association, I wish you and your loved ones a blessed holiday season and a prosperous, healthy New Year.
With gratitude and warmest wishes,
Catina Gordon-Oates, MSN, BSBA, NE-BC, PED-BC
