Nasn?

Yes I am and yes it is (the journal, that is). I also feel it part of being a professional to belong to one's professional organization.

definately worth it!

It is worth it for the eyeglass / exam vouchers alone!

I agree with the above posts. I am a member and feel that it is well worth the money.

The National Association of School Nurses (NASN) is now accepting Abstract Submissions for the NASN 41st Annual Conference: Transforming School Communities: Partners for Student Success to be held in Boston, Massachusetts from June 25th through June 28th, 2009.

Visit NASN online at: http://www.nasn.org/Default.aspx?tabid=408 for more information.

Anyone going to NASN Conference in Boston this June?

May 1 is the end of early bird registration. http://www.nasn.org

Unfortunately the Red Sox not in town that week.

2010 conference is in Chicago at the Marriott on Michigan Avenue!

Definitely worth it. The journal is great, and I have been able to get glasses for kids who do not qualify for any other assistance, via the VSP vouchers. The free online CEUs for members are great, too. I have not made a conference yet due to $$$, but hope to make it someday.

There are 3 conference scholarships being given away if you fill out a member survey. When I was in grad school, the Graduate Student Association had funding to go to conferences. I used it twice for NASN. And of course some school districts where the nurses are on teacher salary scale have the same conference continuing ed funding that the teachers do and many use that to attend.

Boston is nice location because your family can come and vacation with you. If you go, be sure to go to the beach in Cape Cod (my personal favorite, West Dennis) and two years ago I finally drove up to the Maine coast and it was spectacular. Not to mention all the Boston history, the ship the Constitution, North Church, Faneuil Hall, the swan boats at Boston Commons, the Public Garden, and the shopping on Newberry.

You will need your member ID to submit for the scholarship drawing.
