Thank you to the Tennessee Nursing Association for making a gift in support of our nursing students who need a little extra help. 👏👏👏

TNA District 5 is proud to announce our recent donation to the UVA Wise College of Nursing Student Emergency Fund.

​We believe that nursing is a lifelong commitment, and that starts with supporting the next generation of caregivers. Nursing school is demanding, and we are honored to contribute to a fund that provides essential support to students during unforeseen challenges. We stand with our nursing students as they work toward their degrees and prepare to enter our noble profession.
