Around 2007, I started gathering small number of Colorado-based Filipino Nurses, who I personally know. [...]I was able to form the chapter of PNAA in Colorado. The meetings provided opportunities where both parties could exchange dialogues about safety, especially around the use of appropriate PPE (personal protective equipment), as we needed to conserve PPEs due to their limited supply. The high-priority opportunities they identified were education about the basics of ventilator management, medication administration through enteral feeding tube, and proning and repositioning the ICU patients. With the help of some of our ICU nurses, we were able to create relevant educational objectives, develop a curriculum, and provide classroom and simulated hands-on education.

The CCBN Space Talks was a six-month virtual expedition that explored breaking barriers in space discovery for the next generation via a series of action-oriented and solution-based conversations that culminated in the upcoming launch of the CCBN Space Expo. How does CCBN help advance Black nurses and student nurses? CCBN advances not only Black nurses but the nursing profession through providing mentoring, networking, legislative, and community engagement opportunities to optimize the nurse education experience and facilitate successful entry into meaningful practice, all while meeting the needs of underserved communities through free services and health education. The mission of the Colorado Council Black Nurses, Inc. is to improve the health status of all people through empowering underserved communities to be equal contributors in the determination of healthcare standards by increasing the number of Black/African American professional nurses throughout the healthcare continuum, and by increasing college matriculation and successful graduation rates among Black and other underrepresented students in postsecondary education, thereby empowering under-served communities to not only be participants but active contributors to an equitable health care system in local, national and global arenas.

According to a 1967 Colorado Nurse article that CNA's Dr. Colleen Casper RN shared at the annual conference, aerospace flight nursing has been cited as early as July 1, 1949 with the formation of the US Air Force Nurse Corps. CNA was expertly represented by CNA members Dr. Annette Cannon RN and Dr. Armi Earlam RN as both contributors to the space expo as well as panelists at the CCBN Space Talks, a six-month virtual expedition that analyzed the space industry barriers nurses face and explored breaking those barriers in space discovery for the next generation via a series of action-oriented and solution-based conversations that culminated in the launch of the CCBN Space Expo in Colorado in September of 2021. Comprised of a multi-generational network of leaders, pioneers, visionaries, and students in the profession of nursing and nurse pathway careers, CCBN addresses health equity from a cultural perspective with a focus on improving the health status of ALL people.
