Get to Know the TONL Board: Susan Hernandez

Susan Hernandez, DNP, MBA, RN
Chapter President
North Texas Organization for Nursing Leadership (NTONL)

What do you enjoy most about chapter meetings?

Engaging with other colleagues across the state of Texas

How has involvement in TONL and the Chapter helped you in your profession?

It reminds me of what I do well and what I still have to learn. The idea exchanges and ongoing work are energizing.

What keeps you busy when you aren’t working?

My 6-year-old German wire-haired Pointer, Ellie Rose, and my husband, Edward. We love travel, great food and wine, and spending time playing together as a family.

What is one fun fact about you most people might not know?

I enjoy singing and several years ago traveled to New York and Australia as part of the cast of a show called "Hey Florence". It is about the "truths" of nursing.

What is your favorite book or movie?

Too many books to select just one, but Under the Tuscan Sun is one of the top movies for me. I love the scenery as well as the story of a woman taking a risk and finding the joy and blessings in that risk.
