In Memory of Marlene Nadler-Moodie

Marlene Nadler-Moodie, MSN, APRN, PMHCNS-BC

“I think psychiatric-mental health nurses can be anywhere and everywhere. I’d like future psych nurses to be open, to be in leadership positions, to be in the community, to be advocates – we can be really anything!”  – Marlene, 2019

A long-time member of APNA, Marlene Nadler-Moodie’s contributions to the psychiatric-mental health nursing profession are innumerable.
