One Nurse Says Goodbye to Communications Director Nancy Harless, RN, BSN, WCHNP

ONAAT — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 04:59:48 +0000

One Nurse At A Time announces that Nancy Harless has stepped down as Communications Director as of January 1, 2012. Nancy joined ONAAT two years ago and has been the driving force behind our current successful media presence. Nancy created the One Nurse At A Time Blog (OneNurseAtATimeBlog.blogspot) which was honored as one of the top nursing blogs for 2011. Nancy also used her writing talents to forge new relationships for ONAAT with many professional nursing journals and publications like Nurse.com and NP World News. Nancy was instrumental in communicating with our scholarship recipients, helping them write about their mission experiences and being the conduit for sharing these stories.

“I am, and will always continue to be, a strong supporter of One Nurse and plan follow what’s happening with you. It’s going to be an exciting year!” says Nancy.

Thank you for everything you have done for ONAAT Nancy. Your relentless perserverance in spreading the word about the value of nursing really did help us “put more nurse out into the world”! You will be greatly missed.
