Honor A Nurse - Tennessee Nurses Foundation

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 as well as in the designated “Honor A Nurse” section of the Tennessee Nurses Association’s (TNA) 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 their 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.

Sally Blowers was instrumental in my decision to return to East Tennessee State University, re-entering the nursing program, and obtaining my BSN after a difficult time in my life.
