New AMSN President
AMSN President’s January 2023 Message
To the AMSN members, my name is Marisa Streelman, and I am excited to begin my presidency for AMSN in 2023.
When I started attending meetings and volunteering for AMSN I did not see myself in this position. However, my engagement in nursing has continued to grow with the work I have done with AMSN, and this has led me to continue to be a leader for medical-surgical nurses.

Looking Forward
What Does 2023 Have in Store for Us?
I remember when we used to be excited for a new year because it always indicated a fresh start, a new opportunity, and a time to consider what we might like to change or accomplish with our personal and/or professional lives. I have seen a lot of memes on social media telling us to sneak into 2023 quietly so we do not draw attention to ourselves given the past three years we’ve experienced.
