DDNA conference

I just returned from the 14th annual DDNA conference in Daytona Beach. I was very blessed to be able to attend. If you don't know what the DDNA is it is the developmental Disabilities Nurses Association.
Each year they get together and learn and network. This was my first year attending and I hope it won't be my last. I learned so much! I can't wait to see how to use what I've learned to benefit the clients for whom I work.
I'm so excited to have gone.
I love my job. I love being a DD nurse. I think if more people opened themselves up to the experience of knowing people with developmental disabilities, there would be an abundance of people wanting to work with, befriend and help those people.
Often I'm told it takes someone very special to do my job. I honestly don't think so. I think it takes someone blessed to discover my job and have that job. It is wonderful to go to a place everyday where I spend the day with great people that I love, both the ones that work beside me and the ones I work for.
