Dear Flo
Letter from the Editor
Welcome to the first edition of the
PSNA Young Nurse Professionals
newsletter!
As a young nurse professional
myself, I am excited at this
opportunity for all of us across the
state to connect. We hope that
this newsletter will assist you in
learning more about PSNA YNP
members, opportunities for you to
grow professionally and
personally as a nurse, the YNP
happenings around the state, and
how you can get involved with us.
Whether you went into nursing
straight out of high school or came
to nursing as a second degree, we
all survived nursing school (if only
barely), so let’s work together to
navigate our newly chosen
profession!

YNP Pittsburgh
Welcome to nursing, voted the
most trusted and ethical
profession since 1999,
according to the Gallup Poll.
You join approximately 3.4
million other people in the
United States who have chosen
to devote their life to a career
that provides stability,
opportunity for advancement
and movement, and the chance
to help people during their
times of greatest sorrow and
happiness every day you go to
work.
New nurse professionals have
a clear vision of their ideal work
setting, community and future.
New RNs also have a heavy
work schedule, leaving them
just a few hours of free time.
The Young Nurse Professionals
group is a simple solution to using
your time to advance your career,
build your network, and gain
lifelong friends. Are you the
traditional student that studied
nursing straight out of high
school? We saved you a seat! Are
you an RN that chose nursing as a
second career? This is the group
for you too! New nurses can build
a community of peers, discuss
career-related concerns, provide
insight into their specific needs,
take on new roles as leaders, and
make your communities a better
place to live.
Join the YNPs today! We’re
excited to meet you!
