Greetings NSNA members and colleagues ! I am currently a senior BSN student at Bon Secours Memorial College of Nursing in Virginia . I am honored to be the 2024-2025 Happenings Reporter for Imprint magazine and look forward to fostering relationships between the many nursing colleges .
In addition to my current nursing program , I maintain credentials as a Certified Dental Assistant ( CDA ) and a Certified Medical Practice Executive ( CMPE ). After earning my Master ’ s degree in Health Policy & Administration from Pennsylvania State University in 2017 , I completed an Executive Leadership Development program at Virginia Commonwealth University in 2019 which presented a unique opportunity to collaborate within a cohort of healthcare leaders comprised of physicians , nurses , and hospital administrators . We briefly shared the Mind Your Meds campaign with the then reigning Miss Virginia , Camille Schrier , and created patient education pamphlets to raise community awareness on the importance of safe opioid disposal .
I have held several roles as an administrative leader in both private medical / dental practices and within a matrixed academic hospital system including extensive committee involvement . I truly enjoy interlacing my passion for global outreach into my calling and annually volunteer on mission projects across the state of Virginia and in Jamaica alongside my husband , who is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon . Upon graduation in May 2025 , I plan to pursue a DNP degree with the concentration of adult gerontology acute care nurse practitioner . Please reach out to me with news about events and initiatives happening at your chapter . Through collaboration , we will inspire each other and generate a positive impact on the future of nursing nationwide !

Hi , I ’ m E . Napoletano ( they / them ) and I ’ m currently in the midst of my nursing degree , attending the Master ’ s Entry program at the University of Arizona . Prior to nursing , I spent an incredible 15 years in journalism , telling stories that unearthed the “ who ” behind the “ why ” of America ’ s most sensitive topics , including healthcare and finance . During that time , I became an award-winning journalist for coverage of the psychological impacts of borderland family separation policies on children at Chicago Health magazine , and won the Benjamin Franklin Award from the Independent Book
Publishers Association for my co-authored book on egg donation .
In addition to being an NSNA member , I am also a member of the Graduate Student Nurses Association ( GSNA ) and the Emergency Nurses Association ( ENA ). After graduation , I look forward to a career in emergency nursing where I can help fellow members of the Tucson community write the next chapter of their healthcare stories with kindness , compassion , and equity that all humans deserve .
