Improving Health Care from within: Nurses empowering Nurses
It is Christmas every time you let God love Others through you… (Mother Theresa)
“Tis the season of giving” We belong to a profession that personifies caring. Every person that we nurse today is an offering of love as we observe this season that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ and the hope of the salvation of this world.
In Loving Memory……….
“Nursing is a calling, a way of life. Nursing is a service profession that cannot be lived in isolation. Nurses rely on each other for the synergistic effect of teamwork in our efforts of care giving. It is appropriate that we honour our colleagues not only during their career, but also at the end of life’s journey.”

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”
― Barack Obama
On October 26th 2016, the membership of TTRNA came out in their numbers to usher in a new dawn in nursing. It must be made known however, that this change did not happen overnight, but rather it was the culmination of decades of inadequate representation. The collective will of a few who decided that they will no longer complain about the myriad of issues that currently plague nursing personnel, but rather decided to place their energy, time, and resources, to take the TTRNA from its slumber. For they understand that, “Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved - WJB.”
