National Association Of Hispanic Nurses Inc

Annual conference - provided a forum for nurses to analyse and evaluate the health care needs of the hispanic community through presentations, focus groups, peer interactions, mentoring, and task-driven committees and meetings. Latino leadership institute: provided a specially designed educational event for chapter leaders, board members and other hispanic nurses who share a desire to strengthen leadership ability as it relates to nursing and positively impacting latinos at the community level.

Membership services - distributed research findings and hispanic health issues through the website, newsletters, e-blasts and a quarterly peer-reviewed journal; provided support and guidance for the incubation phase of new chapters; expanded on prior research findings and resource development to teach leaders how to carry the message of nursing as a strong career choice into high schools so that a greater number of young latinos are exposed to the facts and rose models related to nursing.

Scholarship program - identified the barriers to recruiting and retraining hispanic students in nursing education programs and worked towards overcoming those barriers and solicited, screened, and provided scholarships to hispanic nurse applicants from undergrad to doctorate level.
