We are so excited to begin this adventure together and hope that many of you decide to join our chapter and help lead the way to an exciting and rewarding professional experience.

Welcome to the Delaware Valley Chapter of the Infusion Nurses Society! Let me introduce myself. My name is Michelle Marte (President) and I have been a Registered Nurse for 17 years, and practicing Infusion Nursing for the past 15 years. I first became certified as C.R.N.I. in 1996. It has been a long time professional goal of mine to become actively involved in the INS. I am so proud and excited to start this new journey together with my colleagues and industry partners. Below is an excerpt from our official acceptance letter from the INS.

“I’m pleased to announce that this morning the INS Board of Directors voted to recognize the Delaware Valley Chapter as an official chapter of the Infusion Nurses Society. It’s been a long road to get to this point and we’re extremely excited to welcome you as our newest chapter. “

In the next couple of days we will be posting all of the information regarding our first meeting on January 26th. We have an exciting speaker lined up and it is sure to be a great night. Also to come; introduction of board members, how to join INS, chapter dues, and future meetings.
