Reflecting on the rich history of the South Jersey Chapter of the National Black Nurses Association (SJCNBNA), one is inspired by the groundbreaking work that began in 1983 under the visionary leadership of Dr. Charlotte Thomas-Hawkins. This chapter emerged as a beacon of hope and support for Black nurses and the communities they serve.
The core mission of SJCNBNA—that every American deserves the right to pursue and enjoy optimal health—resonates deeply with advocates for health equity. The chapter has dedicated itself to advocating for equitable health services and uplifting those within the community who wish to enter the nursing profession.
A fulfilling aspect of being part of SJCNBNA is its commitment to mentoring and supporting students in their journey toward obtaining a nursing degree. Members of the chapter are excited to connect with aspiring nurses and provide guidance, resources, and encouragement every step of the way. Their objectives—screening for health conditions, advocating for policy change, collaborating with health professionals, and nurturing future healthcare leaders—align perfectly with the spirit of goodwill and wellness they strive to instill in their communities.
Together, SJCNBNA fosters an environment where students envision a future in nursing and feel empowered to achieve it. By joining the chapter, students become part of a network that champions health equity and provides unwavering support to Black nurses and the communities they serve in South Jersey. Together, they can carry forward this legacy of empowerment, ensuring a healthier future for all. Kindly, Karen Brittingham-Edmond Editor/Publisher of the relaunched Echo, "In Concern of the Negro" since 1904.
