New on the Blog ? "Members Supporting Members: My HCD Experience," by Veronica Barber, BSN, RN, ONC, our 2024 #HCDcon Scholarship Recipient. She says, "Attending HCD was a great professional and educational opportunity for me. Since there were few nurses that I knew previously that are interested in design, I was able to connect with and learn from others that share my interests.
