TENNESSEE NURSES FOUNDATION INITIATIVES
Promotion of Nursing Image Program
The Tennessee Nurses Foundation partners with other organizations to accurately portray the professionalism of nursing and to
promote a positive image of the profession and nursing.
TNF Initiatives:
| Honor A Nurse |
| TNF Scholarly Writing Contest |
| Tennessee Professional Assistance Program (TnPAP) |
The Tennessee nurses Foundation (TNF) welcomes you to publicly recognize a special nurse in your life. With your $50 tax-deductible donation to TNF, your honored nurse’s name will appear in the Tennessee Nurse, (a quarterly publication sent to all Registered Nurses in the State of Tennessee), as well as in the designated “Honor A Nurse” section under the Tennessee Nurses Foundation’s link on this website. A photo and brief paragraph may also be submitted to further recognize your honored nurse.
This program is available to honor any Tennessee nurse. Honor a nurse friend, nurse family member, or nurse colleague by marking their anniversary, birthday, special event or occasion, or as a memorial. Patients, or the patient’s family, may honor a nurse that truly made a difference in their care or the care of a family member.
Your $50 donation will go toward continued support of the TNF and it’s work pertaining to scholarships, and grants that support the needs of nurses in Tennessee. TNF is a nonprofit, 501(c),(3) organization. Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law and support the mission of TNF.
