where are you from

Published

Hi! I just joined last night and really enjoyed reading the threads! I have a few questions. Where is everyone from? I am fro. Louisiana, work in the public school system. Are you a member of NASN? Will you be attending conference in June?

Are you a member of your state School Nurse organization?

Specializes in family practice and school nursing.

NY here. I just belong to our regional organization. Haven't joined others mostly for time constraints and finances. I do subscribe to the statewide health services organization and receive a lot of information from them.

I'm in NJ. I am a member of NASN and the NJ School Nurse Association. I don't think I'm going to the NASN conference although it's not far from me so I've considered going for the day.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I was fortunate to attend the NASN conference in San Antonio last year and am waiting to hear if I will be attending this year. My district pays for 4 of us to attend. I strongly encourage you to attend conference if you have the opportunity. I learned SO much last year!

Specializes in School Nursing, Telemetry.

I'm in Oregon working for a smaller rural school district (elementary and middle school here). I am a member of NASN as well as OSNA. I attended the state conference this year, but will not be attending the national conference (I wish!) because I don't have the funds for that at the moment! 18 more school days!!!

Another NY School Nurse here. I don't belong to the State or National organizations. We have an amazing website and Student Health resource center in New York so I haven't found the need. I am not attending the conference as we are still in session for school that week.

I belonged to NASN for a year and went to the convention in San Francisco. I also go to the some of the events put on by our state rep. Very valuable resources.

I get more support though from a monthly meeting I attend with public health nurses and school nurses in my district. (These school nurses are almost all members though).

Welcome to School Nursing!
