TAYLOR CARRINGTONTREASURERHey everyone, I am Taylor Carrington and I will be the incoming Treasurer for OSNA 2022-2023 term. I am a junior at Linfield University School of nursing and am so excited to start planning events to help other future nurses. I first learned about this opportunity through Linfield Student Nurses' Association where I am the Professional Development chair. I loved being able to plan events for my school such as resume/interview prep, getting in contact with nursing recruiters from local hospitals and getting public speakers to talk about some of the issues the LGBTQ+ community faces in healthcare. I am now excited to do these types of things on a larger scale and love getting involved in the community making connections with other nurses. My future plans in nursing are hopefully being able to work in the ER for a couple of years then getting my FNP.
