Keynote Testimonials
"Thank you for including this powerful closing! It was humbling to be in a room full of powerful nurse leaders willing to be vulnerable. We all hold so much in (grief, loss, fear, etc) and forge on. Modeling this among each other and with our students is how we change the culture."
