  • NPCNA Annual conference 2024: Beyond the Pause: Reuinted and Recharged! New Spring dates to be announced soon. Stay tuned!

A Letter from the President


Dear Northeast Pediatric Cardiology Nurses Association (NPCNA) members:

Due to a limited number of conference registrations for this October, we need to regrettably postpone our annual conference, which was being held in Boston on October 25, and 26th.  The lack of registrations appears to be related to limited funding from hospitals, but we are hopeful that resources might become available later this fiscal year.

We are confident that we will be able to host the conference in the springtime and are working to finalize a date. The theme will continue to be the same, Beyond the Pause: Reunited and Recharged.  I encourage all to take advantage of this conference for the opportunity to present your work in either poster session or by speaking formally. While we have a full speaker lineup, we would be happy to extend the day to allow for others to gain experience, share their knowledge and network with others in the field. Please reach out to the Board if you have questions at contact.NPCNA.org.

On October 25th, NPCNA will host a one-hour complementary QI workshop with Melina Handley, DNP, PNP-AC, ARNP who will be joining us from Seattle, WA. Melina comes with years of experience in QI research and is looking forward to having an interactive discussion with other pediatric cardiology nurses and Advanced Practice Providers. This will be a hybrid format with her presenting and coaching in person at Boston Children’s Hospital and via Zoom for those who wish to join remotely. NPCNA will provide 1.0 contact hour for nurses, NPs and PAs who join the session in person or remotely. We hope you will join us, stay tuned for more information. 

Thank you for your understanding and your continued support of NPCNA!


Warmly,

Christina Ireland, MSN, RN, FNP-BC  

President of NPCNA

About our organization

In 1983, Northeast Pediatric Cardiology Nurses Association was founded by a group of dedicated and forward-thinking cardiology nurses. They realized that no organization existed to provide professional enrichment and support for professional nurses caring for children with congenital or acquired heart disease, and they envisioned the benefits that such an organization could provide to its members.

The wisdom and experience of our founders created a mission for our organization that is still in effect today:

In the field of nursing, and especially within the pediatric cardiology specialty, there are many challenges. From staying abreast of the latest medical developments, to continuing education and training, to simply providing a network of support, NPCNA exists to be a resource for its members.

Today, our membership reflects the diversity of pediatric cardiovascular nursing. Our members represent over 28 northeast regional cardiovascular programs, as well as programs from the mid-west and south. This diversity in practice and the broad spectrum of our membership provide opportunities to learn, explore, and be part of the advances in nursing care of patients with congenital or acquired heart disease.

Through our annual conference, scholarship fund, research grants, and online forums we bring nurses together to learn, share, grow and connect with other professionals in this unique field. Because together, we can help each other while advancing our profession, fulfilling our mission and caring for our patients.
