Don’t miss tomorrow’s exciting Plenary Session, sponsored by Johnson & Johnson, featuring nurse innovators changing human health. You’ll meet three cutting-edge nurse entrepreneurs: Wrenetha Julion, Brittany Molkenthin, and Rachel Walker, learn more about their inspiring work, and how they are changing human health. Curious to know more? Here’s a preview:
- Wrenetha Julion, PhD, RN, MPH, FAAN, is a professor of nursing at Rush University Medical Center, and co-author of the Chicago Parent Program, a nationally-recognized parent-training program for at-risk families living in low-income, ethnic minority communities. She also developed an intervention called Building Bridges to Fatherhood.
- Brittany Molkenthin, RN, CEO, is a pediatric intensive care Registered Nurse at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, and the CEO of her own company, Lactation Innovations. She is also a Master’s candidate with a concentration in Pediatric Primary Care.
- Rachel Walker, PhD, RN, OCN, is an assistant professor at UMass Amherst College of Nursing, and a nurse inventor who has developed multiple new devices, including a portable machine that can generate critical IV fluids in disaster settings. She is also the first nurse to be selected by the AAAS and the Lemelson Foundation as an Invention Ambassador.
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow to hear more from each of these incredible nurse innovators. In the meantime, visit nursing.jnj.com to learn more about nurse-led innovation.

Salt Lake City Survey Participation
|
The Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute at the University of Utah develops and shares economic, demographic and public policy data and research to help organizations understand their economic impact. NSNA has partnered with the Policy Institute to conduct a brief survey during the 2019 NSNA Convention. The resulting data provides valuable insight for Salt Lake and NSNA. If you are approached by a professional surveyor in the Salt Palace Convention Center, you are encouraged to participate. Please note the surveyors will wear a convention badge and identify themselves as Policy Institute employees. The survey will be brief, only taking a few minutes. Thank you in advance for your participation!
