Re: Pancreatitis Nurses Society

Keri,

I saw on your post that you were, or actually, you are an OB/GYN nurse. I was

wondering what field you were working in. I am interested in pulling together

all the RN / LPN members in the group. I feel that becoming unemployed

outside the home does not mean you are no longer a nurse. I have been working on

organizing a Pancreatitis Nurses Society. There are many things that this

Society

could do. One of them is to provide a venue for volunteer work and

educational resources.

Financial limitations did not permit me from certifying the PAI as a provider

of Continuing Education, however, I do have the application packet and plan

on doing so next year. At this time, we also could not afford to even certify

the Symposium for CEU's. It is a lot more affordable to certify the PAI as a

whole vs a single educational event. I want to do this to provide some options

to nurses who need CEU's for license renewal. And, actually, some states will

allow any educational hours to count towards license renewal with a letter from

the organization. So I will be glad to provide a letter to anyone who needs

educational hours. We will also be able to offer CEU's to MSW, RD, etc. For

anyone not attending the symposium, I am preparing material to allow the

videotape to offer educational hours, as well.

let me know if you or any other nurse is interested in this pursuit.

With Joy & Light,

Karyn , RN

Executive Director, PAI
