October is always an exciting time for NOVA. It’s a time for celebration and renewal. It is also time for members to vote for the incoming NOVA Board of Directors! Please take a moment to vote and make your selection for the incoming Directors. It is up to you who will lead the organization for the next year!

As the year is coming to an end, we have faced many challenges but our biggest continues to be membership. NOVA was established 45 years ago and we once again find ourselves struggling with legislation and executive orders that impact not only the veterans we serve but also the stability of our organization. This is an organization built for VA nurses by VA nurses! Without your help and recruitment of members the organization may not see another 45 years. Let’s work together to ensure that other VA nurses have the opportunity to belong to an organization founded just for nurses in the VA!

Grow our Mission!

Take a moment to talk to your fellow VA nurses about the benefits of being a NOVA member. Share your experiences with others like NOVA Hill Day. It is our opportunity to go the Washington DC and share our experience and knowledge as VA nurses to improve veteran care and to develop ourselves professionally and legislatively. It is our chance to make a difference!

It is time to celebrate being a member of NOVA. The annual conference is right around the corner on October 21-23,2025. It is not too late to register and enjoy networking with other VA nurses and NOVA members. Come and learn about veteran care!

Hope to see you in Nashville!

Best,
