I am thrilled to invite you to join me in Las Vegas, Nevada this May for the National Association of Orthopaedic Nurses 34th Annual Congress. This year’s theme, Ever Growing, Ever Strong, Ever Green, is representative not only to NAON but to each individual orthopaedic nurse. Nurses in this generation must always be growing and learning to keep up with the constantly changing demands of the job, they must be strong, both mentally and physically, and they must adapt to a world that is becoming more and more environmentally green. The word “evergreen” by definition means a plant that is green all year round. It continues to grow, stays strong, and adapts during every season. This is not unlike the nurse who is always called upon to deliver results while continuing to grow and adapt no matter the day, month or season. Pamela A. Cupec, MS, As requested by past participants, our new schedule allows more time to enjoy the sights and activities of the host RN, ONC, CRRN, ACM city. With outstanding educational sessions, networking opportunities with fellow orthopaedic nurses from around 2013-2014 the world, and an exhibit hall full of new ideas and contacts, not everything that happens in Vegas has to stay in NAON President Vegas.
