President’s Message Midst COVID 19

Yvonne Pellerin DNP, RN, NE-BC, FACHE

Colleagues,

We are beginning our second half of our 2021 Baton Rouge District Year. I hope your have found some respite despite the challenges we are faced with in healthcare.

Finding the time to recharge and rejuvenate is a must in this fast paced time. I am so proud of our district for its strong representation in LSNA Member Assembly and the ongoing efforts

Of caring for our community. While we may have to continue in a virtual platform we are excited to offer you educational opportunities and networking among colleagues to address

Concerns relevant to todays nursing practice.

As we are in the mid-year time I remind us of our 2021 goals.

GOALS/OBJECTIVES FOR 2021

• Align BRDNA with the goals, visions, values, of the LSNA and ANA 
• Increase engagement of membership
• Grow Board committees to encourage participation
• Continue to use technology as an outreach tool to increase participation among our membership
• Collaborate with Louisiana Action Coalition and the Regional Action Coalition to increase diversity in nursing

I would like to thank nurses across the state of Louisiana and especially Baton Rouge District for their ability to innovate care and prove resilience in providing care. You are all heroes!

The Baton Rouge District is here to support you! Thank you for all you do!

We know that we can continue to work together to make the future even better for our nursing profession, communities and State.
