    Quarterly circulation approximately 90,000 to all RNs and Student Nurses in Tennessee. Volume 77 • Number 2 The Official Publication of the Tennessee Nurses Foundation Summer 2014 I Am TNA Students, Nurses, Faculty Hold Nurses Day on Dr. Esther Christian Sellars, MSN, RN (District 10) Capitol Hill at TNA Legislative Summit I AM TNA. The importance of this ownership goes back to the first nurse of color, Mary Eliza Mahoney (May 7, 1845 – January 4, 1926). She studied and worked as a professionally trained nurse in the United States, graduating in 1879, and in 1908 she co-founded the National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses Dr. Esther (NACGN) with Adah B. Christian Sellars Thoms that eventually merged with the American Nurses Association (ANA) in 1951. I am what I am today because of this strong leadership, and the recognition by one so significant, that association with others is more important than being separate and because of that realization; merging with ANA. As part of a whole, I am able to collectively make changes and address issues that are relevant to my profession. Memberships in the Tennessee Nurses Association (TNA) and the American Nurses Association (ANA) are what make us a whole; it is a collection of our voices. I received my BSN in 1989 from the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences, an MSN in 1997 from Arkansas State University, and completed my Ed.D. in 2003 from The University of Memphis. I can attest to the importance of the TNA advocating on my behalf. I have worked hard to make my personal dreams come true.
