Some of our board members got to enjoy the sunshine and have some fun at the ONS Annual Congress in San Antonio, Tx this past week!

One of the RRV members Maria Schmidt was on the planning committee. What a fun and interesting group to be a part of.

HAPPY CERTIFIED NURSES DAY!!!🎉 (Sorry it's a date late)

Getting your certification is a process but worth every second! There are numerous ones available that can be specific to your area! Visit ONS.ORG to learn more.

Fun fact: The national ONS organization also has scholarships available for those looking to get their certification. Visit: https://www.ons.org/career-development/grants-scholarships to learn more. I actually received the scholarship for the OCN one that paid for my whole test. Very good opportunities available!

Also remember that our chapter also has scholarships available as well!!

Apply for funding to earn an advanced degree, enroll in a continuing nursing education program, attend ONS Congress®, or pay for a certification exam.
