February 2018 meeting

Our February meeting was a great success.  Our students enjoyed the 2nd part of interviewing and resume writing hosted by our own Melinda Alvear.  

We would like to thank Ana G Mendez for hosting us and being so gracious.  

We are seeking membership input on topics for future meetings that will help our membership expand their career.  Please complete the following surveymonkey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/28M829Y.  

It has been a very exciting time for us here at the West Florida NAHN chapter.  We have done multiple outreach events in conjunction with Pfiezer getting the word out to our Hispanic community on the importance of immunizations.  Check out our Facebook and Instagram page for pictures of these events. 

We would like to invite you to join in our annual Christmas celebration on December 13, 2018 to celebrate all of our accomplishments. 

We would like to finish up 2018 with a live meeting on 12/13/18, where we can share our accomplishments, share a festive meal, and start to plan for 2019.

The National Association of Hispanic Nurses was founded in 1975 by Ildaura Murillo Rhode, RN, Ph. D., ND, FAAN. It evolved out of the Ad Hoc Committee of the Spanish Surnamed Nurses’ Caucus, which was formed during the American Nurses Association convention in San Francisco in 1974. In 1976, the fledgling organization became the National Association of Spanish-Speaking/Spanish Surnamed Nurses, which was renamed as the National Association of Hispanic Nurses in 1979.
