I need someone to show me the ropes for one thing. This will be my first convention. My first time in a BIG, BIG city alone. I am too young to rent a car, and otherwise ignorant about travel in the big city. So what I need is a "mentor".
And I am also looking for anyone who might be willing to share cost of a hotel room. I promise that I am not an ax murderer,just a young staff nurse that really can't afford 120 dollars a night.
contact your state nurses assoc & the ANA. they may be able to hook you up with someone else who is looking for a room mate.
As far as being alone - no way - there will be hundreds of nurses from all over the country there. And Im sure the nurses of Pennsylvania Nurses Assoc are going to be great hosts.
Just thought I'd bring this forward so we could plan on meeting in Philly!
I'm rooming with Bassbird and Moonshadeau, and we are coming into Philly on the 28th (I'm coming earlier in the day than they are). So, when and where is everyone meeting?
:balloons: :biggringi
Speaking for myself, I am SO ready for this years' convention: it should be quite interesting, to say the least.
Im getting there on the 25th. Staying at the Loews. Leaving on the 28th. Daughters dance recital is the 29th & 30th. I have no idea where to meet. I figure Ill just stop by the Pennsylvania Nurses Assoc table & track down Karen.
Hey, Julie, I will bring the pics that I took last year along so you can have them. I'll be arrving in Philly at 1PM; will drop off my stuff at the hotel and then head over to the convention center right away. When are you leaving? I'll head over to the PNA area and look for Karen, or else look for you-- but where?
