What Do You Enjoy Most About Chapter Meetings?                      
I really enjoy working with Nursing Leaders from across our state that has allowed me to network and form professional relationships.

My involvement in TONL is more recent, but I foresee being involved and joining the Diversity and Inclusion committee with give me more insight and growth as a Nursing Leader.

When I was growing up, I would often say to my father, “that’s not fair,” when something did not go my way. He would sagely respond, “Karen, life isn’t fair–so what are you going to do about it?” At the time, I didn’t always take kindly to his words. However, as we come to the close of an extraordinary 2020, I keep thinking of his wisdom and am filled with an abundance of gratitude because he certainly groomed me for a year like this!

When one observes the language that we use in response to the current societal influences and the environment in which we live, the tone and tenor signal a sense of urgency and anxiety. Words and phrases such as the new norm, surge, twindemic, infodemic, psychological safety, emotional PPE (personal protective equipment), resiliency, recovery, and the like, evoke various emotional, psychological, and intellectual responses. More than ever, nurse leaders must be open to new ways of coping, new approaches to learning, and new imperatives for leading (Fuchs, 2020; Lacey, 2020; Tuazon, 2020).
