Nurses from across Washington will gather April 30–May 2 for the 2025 Washington State Nurses Convention in Tacoma—three powerful days of learning, connection, and leadership. And we want you there.
Whether you’ve attended before or this is your first time, you’ll be welcomed into a space where nurses come together to reconnect with purpose, power, and possibility.
What you'll experience at Convention
From ANA President Jennifer Mensik Kennedy on national advocacy, to Monica McLemore on health equity and justice, to Stephanie Staples on renewal and resilience—this year’s speakers will challenge, uplift, and energize you.
We’ve built a program that meets your continuing education license renewal requirements and fuels your passion for nursing.
Hear from DOH, L&I, and WSNA about what the new law means for your workplace—and how you can help put it into action.
Network with nurses from every corner of the state who share your drive to lead, connect, and change the profession.
Start your day with a gentle, all-levels yoga session to help you move, breathe, and reset before the day’s events. Take a stroll by the waterfront. Leave feeling recharged.
At Thursday’s gala, we’ll honor those who’ve advanced practice, leadership, and advocacy—and raise funds for the future of nursing.

There’s an energy you can feel the moment you arrive—an atmosphere of connection, pride, and purpose.
Surrounded by peers who truly understand your journey, you’ll find yourself recharged and reawakened to the power of nursing and the impact you can make.
Best experience ever. Reminded me why I became a nurse and gave me a new zeal to continue fighting for our profession.
The varied speakers were great, and being able to see that the issues that we deal with in our facilities are the same, statewide, was a high point.
What a warm, welcoming atmosphere!
Expert-level speakers — well done! Inspiring! Came home feeling equipped to get involved which was a primary reason for attending.
Great networking. Fun to get away from work and learn about what is going on in other avenues of nursing.
This isn’t just another event—it’s where extraordinary nurses come together to recharge, connect, and remember why this work matters. If you’ve felt it before, you know. If you haven’t, now’s the time.
Whether you're here to lead, to listen, to recharge—or all three—this year’s Convention was made for you.
