Thanks to Mary's organizational ability and follow-through, the Spring Workshop was a wonderful success.  There were approximately forty (40) participants which included some of our Periop Students.

President-Elect's Message

Happy April,                   

        This year is moving along quickly.  I hope everyone who was able to attend congress had a great time.  I found it educational and enlightening.  I personally have gone to five Congresses and at every one of them I learn different things  regarding the association, how things are organized , chapter duties and events that our chapter can aspire to be great at . We have a large chapter and I really would like as a chapter next year to  present to the national association what our chapter does.  We do a lot for members and we as nurses contribute to a lot of community projects.  I challenge our chapter members to submit your projects and we will put them together and as a chapter devise  a plan  as to what we can contribute to Nursing and our community.  As one of the oldest chapters still inexistence today I would like to demonstrate to our colleagues  that we are still a viable and active chapter in our state!

On that note, I encourage members to go back to school, it’s never too late!  I graduated from nursing school in the late 70’s , one class at a time is fun and wow!  Nursing theories, research and finding your way through new technology is challenging and beginning
