TLDR The DNA convention was a valuable opportunity for learning and networking, especially after COVID-19.
The document is a personal recount by Angela L. Borger, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the Dermatology Nurses' Association, about attending the annual Dermatology Nurses' Association (DNA) convention in Savannah, GA. It highlights the joy of reconnecting with colleagues post-COVID-19 and introduces Nancy Smail, RN, as the new DNA president, who emphasizes ongoing education and involvement in the organization. Key dermatology insights from the convention include the management of hidradenitis suppurativa, alopecia areata, and post-transplant skin cancer risks. The document encourages participation in future DNA events, specifically the 42nd annual convention in San Diego, CA, themed “Exceeding the Vision.”
