If you haven't heard about Greater Kansas City AACN Chapter's fundraising campaign, visit the Help Joplin! page to learn more about how you could help send 5 progressive and critical care nurses from St. John's Hospital in Joplin, Missouri to an all-expenses paid trip to 2012 NTI in May. All the new knowledge, energy, excitement, and empowerment experienced at NTI will be rejuvenating for the nurses after a devastating and difficult year rebuilding their town, lives, and hospital.
On January 24th, 2012, the "Mechanical Ventilation" class was well attended and Lynelle Pierce did a dynamite job of presenting. What also left a long lasting impression was the almost $200 the 38 participants contributed as a class towards the "Show Me, We Care" Reaching Out to Joplin Nurses Fundraising Campaign. Thank you, class, for your generous donation.
