    This Year's Theme: Advocacy Amidst Adversity: Commitment to Quality
  
    Nursing has always faced adversity but the past few years have presented new challenges as well as more acute versions of issues we have dealt with for decades. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic can still be felt on multiple aspects of the profession, including continued unsafe staffing, a faculty shortage, workplace violence and nursing salary concerns. Additionally, the recent crisis related to fraudulent Florida nursing schools is a concern for all professional nurses in every aspect of the profession. Our theme was fashioned in the light of these challenges and more. The focus on quality was meant to make the link between factors that impact nurses and the quality of both education and healthcare delivery. As “the most trusted profession” we will address these critical concerns at the 2023 FNA Membership Assembly.
