This exhibit was born from the passion of dedicated and historically oriented registered nurses from Florida Nurses Association (FNA), Former District IV representing Hillsborough County.
One of the oldest professional organizations in the state, FNA has been serving and supporting registered nurses for over 100 years, advocating for a safer and healthier workplace for nurses and a safer and healthier Florida.
