Summertime!

Hi everyone,
So sorry there have been no posts lately.  Summer is in full swing and everyone has been so busy.  But a couple of quick updates.
  •  We had a successful last meeting with Lynn Hadaway, it was a pleasure to hear her speak.  (more on this when I post the minutes and pictures from the last meeting).  The food was good and it was nice to meet some new friends and catch up with some old :)
  • I am expecting the funds from my scholarship award to arrive soon, so the good news is we will have a small budget for our next meeting!  Also, some of the money will be used to build a lending library of INS publications for our members to utilize. 
  • Our September/October meeting will be here before you know it, and we are currently in the planning process now.  We are looking into having some of our favorite vendors join us with display tables, and possibly a speaker or two.  Oh and we will most definitely have some kind of refreshments...
  • There has been some interest amongst members in setting up some study groups for the upcoming C.R.N.I. exam.  I would be happy to help facilitate this.  Please leave a comment or send me an email if you are interested. 
  • INS has just released a position paper regarding the frequency of peripheral IV assessment, the link is below.
