President's Message
What a way to start out the month of March...tornado warnings, high winds and floods. Hopefully, this is not a precursor to a bad Spring (weather-wise). Speaking of Spring, Daylight Savings Time begins on March 12
th at 2:00am. Remember to set your clocks an hour ahead and check your smoke/CO de
tectors.
Some ONA events, scheduled for this Spring are Nurses Day at the State House 2017, the Nurses Wellness Conference and the Nurses Choice Luncheon.
|
|
Nurses Day at the State House 2017 is on March 22
nd from 11:00am - 5:30pm. This year there will be a reception with legislators from 5:30pm - 7:00p, instead of the luncheon. March 24
th & 25
th is the Nurse Wellness Conference at the OSU James Cancer Clinic. Don't forget about the Nurse Choice Luncheon that the Ohio Nurses Foundation sponsors on April 28
th. You can sign up for these events on the ONA website. I look forward to seeing you there!
Hope everyone has a great March!
