Conference Registration Here

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
