Dear NAON Members, Colleagues, and Friends,
As we prepare to gather for the NAON Congress 2025 this May, we celebrate an incredible milestone—our 45th year of excellence in orthopaedic nursing. This congress represents more than just a meeting; it is a moment to reflect on how far we have come, recognize the outstanding contributions of our members, and continue shaping the future of our profession together.
NAON has always been a place of learning, collaboration, and inspiration. Whether you are joining us for the first time or have been part of this journey for years, this congress will provide invaluable opportunities to grow, connect, and bring new perspectives to patient care.
If you haven’t yet registered, it’s not too late! Last-minute registration is still open, and we encourage you to take advantage of this chance to participate in dynamic discussions, hands-on learning, and networking with peers who share your passion for orthopaedic nursing. Don’t miss out on an event that promises to be enriching, engaging, and full of celebration - Congress!
Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Here’s to honoring our legacy and embracing the future together.
Keep Believing,
