President's Message

As we usher in the new year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible strides we have made together as an organization and to share my excitement for the year ahead.

Celebrating a Year of Resilience and Impact

2024 has been a remarkable year of resilience, growth, and innovation for nursing research across the eastern region. It is a privilege to lead the Eastern Nursing Research Society during such an exciting and transformative time. This past year, our community has demonstrated extraordinary collaboration, amplified the reach and influence of nursing research, and upheld an unwavering commitment to excellence in nursing science. From groundbreaking studies to invaluable mentorship efforts, the contributions of our members have not only advanced our shared mission but have also reinforced the vital role of nursing research in improving the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities.

Shaping Our Future Together

As we begin 2025, I encourage each of you to look ahead with anticipation and dedication. In October, the ENRS Board convened a dynamic strategic planning session to craft a forward-thinking mission, vision, and strategic plan designed to amplify our strengths and position the organization for a vibrant and impactful future. This visionary effort reflects our commitment to innovation, inclusivity, and excellence, ensuring ENRS remains a leader in advancing nursing science and shaping the future of health care. I look forward to sharing this exciting vision with our membership in the new year and inviting your valuable feedback to help shape our collective future.

Looking Ahead to 2025

The opportunities for advancing nursing science are limitless, and the ENRS is committed to supporting you every step of the way. This year, we will continue to focus on fostering a vibrant research community, amplifying diverse voices in research, and advocating for the vital role nursing plays in shaping healthcare outcomes. Mark your calendars for the ENRS 37th Annual Scientific Sessions in Philadelphia on April 3-4, 2025. With the theme Freedom to Advance Health and Well-being Through Revolutionary Nursing Research Partnerships, the conference will offer opportunities to connect with peers, present your work, and explore innovative ideas shaping the future of nursing science. My heartfelt thanks to President-Elect Ann-Margaret Navarra and the Conference Planning Committee for organizing what promises to be an inspiring event. More information can be found here.

As we step into this new year, I am inspired by the talent and dedication that each of you brings to the table. Together, we are not only advancing the science of nursing but also making a profound difference in the lives of those we serve. 

I look forward to working alongside all of you in 2025 and to all that we will achieve together. 

Cheers to 2025,
