#Tsno 2018 region x conference registration
The next registration window will begin Nov. It is never too late to advance your education and earn national certification in your nursing specialty. I recently took my NBCSN exam and passed with success by utilizing the resources they suggested. This certification recognizes the specialized knowledge, skills, and experience demonstrated by the achievement of standards to promote optimal health outcomes. One way to advance your commitment to demonstrate the best possible care for students and the school community is by taking the National Board for Certification of School Nurses exam. Our specialized nursing profession requires ongoing education due to the changing health conditions of the student population, diversity, and issues of today. School nurses are change agents of their nursing profession. How can you earn national recognition in your nursing specialty? You are being asked because others see great potential in you! I encourage you to be courageous and say “YES” when you are asked to get involved and take on a leadership role. And now, as my term as President is ending, I can say without hesitation that it has truly been an honor to have served you these many years on the Texas School Nurses Organization and especially as your President.
For many years, I clung to the self-limiting assumption that I was a reluctant leader when those around me believed that I could lead. You see, I didn’t say yes because I had confidence in the task I was being asked to do, but because someone else believed that I could do it.
The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” Nelson Mandela said, “ I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. All because I had the courage to say “YES” in 2005 when TSNO President Carole Moore asked me if I would fill the Region 6 President position. Words cannot adequately describe how valuable this Leadership Journey has been and will continue to be.
As I think back on who I was more than 10 years ago when I began serving on the TSNO Executive Committee, I am astounded how much I have grown personally and professionally as I’ve embraced each new leadership pathway. My journey into Leadership is approaching another intersection and it is quite bittersweet.
