Join PSNA and your nurse colleagues for our July Coffee & Connect virtual series! The hour will begin with a presentation titled “How to Become a Young Nurse Professional (YNP): Get Involved with the YNP Advisory Board.” We welcome PSNA YNP President Hunter Murdoch. Hunter graduated with her BSN from Penn State University in 2018. While in nursing school, Hunter served as a board member for the Student Nurses’ Association of Pennsylvania. Since graduation, she has been employed at Penn State Health Holy Spirit Medical Center’s cardiac ICU.
After the presentation, Hunter will host Jackbox Games — the party game-making studio best known for hit games like YOU DON’T KNOW JACK, Quiplash, Fibbage, Drawful, Trivia Murder Party, and more! If you are joining the game, please have a second device available. For example, use your computer for the video conference and have your phone ready for the game.
Feel free to bring questions for Hunter to answer following the presentation! This is a great time to meet nursing students or new‐to‐practice nurses and broaden your networking circle.

The Pennsylvania State Nurses Association (PSNA) will hold its annual Legislative Day on Monday, May 1, 2023 in Harrisburg. Nurses and students are invited to join us as we advocate for the profession and our patients in Pennsylvania. Click here to see all of PSNA’s legislative initiatives.
PSNA’s Legislative Day is an important and informative day for nurses in Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, nurses are under-represented in our state’s legislature. Although we are the largest group of healthcare providers in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, only two members of the General Assembly are RNs. Therefore, it is our responsibility and privilege to share our knowledge and expertise with local officials.
Legislative Day will begin with refreshments and presentations from PSNA staff and Pennsylvania leaders at Temple University Harrisburg. Attendees will then walk to the Capital to conduct pre-assigned meetings with legislators. From there, we will reconvene as a group to greet and promote the Patient Safety Act to officials as they enter the Senate floor. Attendees will have lunch on their own and are invited to return to the Capital for a guided tour before ending the day.
