OSANA 2026 was another great success for our profession and our program! Our seniors showcased their work by displaying their projects on Friday night and engaged in meaningful conversations about their findings with meeting attendees on Saturday. Their work was well received and stimulated conversations of replicating their work in practices throughout Ohio. They have worked incredibly hard on their DNP projects and should be very proud to have shared them with colleagues across the state. Please also join us in congratulating Libby Root and Joey Carroll for presenting their DNP project, “Ohio Workforce Evaluation,” on Friday evening.

Following their presentation, the Annual College Bowl was held. We wish to extend our congratulations to our outstanding UC College Bowl team, including Nick Goldfuss, Hannah Carithers, Holden Simon, and Theresa Studer. Their fellow classmates were there to cheer them on, and they represented the UC NAP beautifully! Thank you to Angela Humbel, who represented the program throughout the meeting as the UC Student Representative to OSANA.

Another special congratulations to our own Lynne O'Brien for receiving the 2026 OSANA CRNA of the Year. We are proud of all you have achieved and grateful for all you do!

Thanks to everyone for making OSANA 2026 such a success!
