2015 President’s Message
Robert Blake, RN, MS, MBA, MDiv
President, Texas Nurses Association District 9
Welcome! You have found your way to the official website for Texas Nurses Association, District 9! Here you will pick up news about the activities of District 9 and for the Texas Nurses Association, headquartered in Austin, TX. Our goal is to connect to nurses in the greater Houston area to support the work we do every day on behalf of our patients, their families, and our healthcare system. Nurses are in every conceivable role from advanced practice to the very closest point of contact with patients in inpatient and outpatient settings.
Your membership in Texas Nurses Association, District 9, ensures that we have the funding needed to protect our practice act, interact cohesively with our legislators in Austin, and inform our membership base about issues of concern to all of us. If you are not yet a member, please consider joining us at the local, state, and/or national level. Because of the Texas Nurses Association, Texas nurses enjoy a voice in our governmental structure, ongoing educational efforts to keep us current in practice, and venues where we can come together to recognize each other’s incredible achievements.
We have restructured our membership meetings to be relevant to practicing nurses, contain pertinent CE’s and they are open to everyone, member or not. We are working to set up a network of locations for nurses to come together and we have central Houston meetings as well as a subdistrict meeting in The Woodlands/Spring area. Meeting times and days vary, so check our website for what is coming!
Known as the longest running nurse led recognition program for nurses, Nursing Celebration turns 25 this year and we are pulling out all the stops to create a fun-filled evening. This year, Nursing Celebration’s Silver Gala will be held at The Westin Galleria on Thursday night, November 12th. You will have a chance to meet the leadership of the Texas Nurses Association, participate in a Silent Auction with great offerings, and be a part of the history that is made every time a nurse is recognized for doing what we all do every day! The best of the best will be there and we want you to be there as well!
Be proud of who you are! Nurses are Rock Stars in every sense of the word! Come celebrate with us on November 12th and then celebrate with us throughout the year as we pursue excellence in nursing practice, engaging work environments, and energetic work at paving the way for nurses to enter practice in the future!
Regards,
Robert Blake, RN, MS, MBA, MDiv

CALL TO ACTION: Participate in Interprofessional Ethics Survey of Moral Distress
Hello,
Are you a practicing physician, registered nurse, dentist or dental hygienist?Interprofessional researchers at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center at Houston invite you to participate in an anonymous, secure online survey about moral distress. Moral distress occurs when professionals cannot carry out what they believe to be ethically appropriate actions because of internal or external constraints. As a practicing professional, you have valuable knowledge and experiences to share that can assist in identifying the precursors and effects of moral distress.
The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete and provides you with the opportunity to share your thoughts, perceptions, and experiences. Your participation in this research study is completely voluntary. Completion of the survey implies your informed consent to participate. Responses are entirely confidential and no identifiable information will be obtained.
