THE PNASA COMMITMENT by Aura Casabar, BSN, RN, CCM
Over a quarter of a century, PNASA has made strong sustained strides towards increasing and serving its membership. It is accessible through its website: mypnasatx.org, email: mypnasa@hotmail.com, Facebook, and twitter. NURSING EXCELLENCE and SCHOLARSHIPS
PNASA promotes career advancements towards attaining the highest standards of nursing and continues to award scholarships to deserving undergraduate and graduate nursing students. It recognizes achievements and excellence of nurses in their fields of expertise. At least 25 awards and 30 recognitions have been given in previous years. A new group of nurses will be recognized at the Annual Nursing Excellence and Scholarship Awards during Nurses’ Week in May 2018.
In 2015, PNASA spearheaded by then President-Elect Danet Lapiz-Bluhm, partnered with the University of Texas Health San Antonio School of Nursing in their Scholarship program.
We encourage PNASA members to avail of this membership benefit as they or family members pursue higher learning in the field of nursing.
