Mechanical Ventilation: Basics and Beyond was a Huge Success!


This year, your Greater Kansas City AACN Education Chairs developed an initiative to host three continuing nursing education offerings for critical care and progressive care nurses.  Results from the GKC AACN Chapter Needs Assessment survey guided the topics of focus for these sessions.  Our first education offering, Mechanical Ventilation: Basics and Beyond with Lynelle Pierce, RN, MSN, CCRN was held on January 24, 2012 at St. Joseph Medical Center.  The course qualified for 3.5 contact hours, Synergy CERP category A.

HOLIDAY! LOCAL MEMBER APPRECIATION GATHERING!

12/6/2011

 
Since “going local” in July 2011, we have had great appreciation for the 63 local members who have supported this transition to a Chapter With Walls.  On December 1st, we hosted a networking and local member appreciation gathering.  Each local member was also encouraged to bring a nurse colleague or two!  

Overall, we had almost 20 nurses join the festivities that included light appetizers and a cash bar.   A visit from Mary Stahl, a local GKCC member and our AACN National President was a nice surprise.

Kay Luft introduced our “Show Me…We Care” Fundraising Campaign for Joplin, Missouri.  Angie Foster led the drawing for 1-day free registration at the 2012 Visions Symposium.  Devin Bowers, Children’s Mercy PICU Nurse Manager, was our lucky winner!  Janell Huskey from North Kansas City Hospital was the lucky recipient of the AACN President’s Theme Ornament “Together, Stronger, Bolder”.  Congratulations, ladies!

Thank you to each and every local and national member for supporting the Greater Kansas City Chapter.  We wish you a Blessed Holiday Season.  Stay safe, and we look forward to reaching out to you again in 2012!
