Thanksgiving Message

Dear Colleague, 

Many of us celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday with our family and friends. This is a holiday that reminds us that we have so many things we have to be grateful for. An important day to acknowledge and appreciate everything that brings gratitude into our lives. 

I certainly have much to be thankful for…my family and friends, the communities we serve and each of you, my wonderful colleagues. I firmly believed that there is no more talented and dedicated team in health care than all of you and I remain humbled to work with you in the pursuit of our noble mission. 

As a critical care nurse, we know that illness and injury do not take a holiday. I acknowledged our colleague who spent their Thanksgiving Day working to provide the best care to our critically ill patients. Thank you.   

On behalf of the AACN of Central New Jersey Board Members, I wish you and your families a healthy, safe Thanksgiving.

Sincerely,

Grace Echavez, MSN, RN, CCRN-K

President AACN-CNJ 2022-2024
