When I think of AONN+, the first thing that comes to mind for me is one word – empowerment. AONN+ has been a part of my professional career since the first moment I became a nurse navigator. At the time, my manager encouraged me to join AONN+ to network with others, and to have access to current, relevant information on my position and potential impacts for patient care. In other words, joining AONN+ would make me a better navigator by giving me access to peers, colleagues, and tools to do my job.
