Happy Medical-Surgical Nurses Month! Usually, we celebrate Medical-Surgical Nurses for only a week in November (1-7), but this year we decided to commemorate the whole month.

As I begin my term as AMSN’s President, I want to thank Robin Hertel for her service as our President for the past two years.
