As a Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) myself, I’ve been reflecting on the many amazing CNSs who mentored me throughout my career and asked for nothing in return—except that I pass their knowledge and guidance on to the next generation. I am incredibly grateful for all the CNSs I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with, learning from, and teaching. Thank you for doing the work that is often overlooked or behind the scenes. Please know that your contributions have made a lasting impact—not only on our profession, but on so many others.

I’m grateful for our continued collaboration with the National Association of Clinical Nurse Specialists (NACNS). I’m honored to attend their Annual Conference and have the opportunity to connect with future CNSs during the Student Networking Lunch. It is especially meaningful to me to give back by providing the same guidance, encouragement, and support that my own mentors so generously provided to me. I’m looking forward to exhibiting and presenting at the upcoming NACNS Amplify 2027 Annual Conference and hope to see you there!
