Can you believe it? The 2017 ISPAN Annual Convention is right around the corner! I’m excited to share some new platforms and events at this year’s October 5-9 meeting in Orlando. More

In each newsletter from now until the September 2017 issue, there will be a hidden Mobius strip (the circular symbol as part of the ISPAN logo) for you to find. If you submit all four by October 1, 2017, you will be entered in a drawing to win a copy of the 4th Edition Core Curriculum. Submissions can be sent via email to ISPANews Editor, Kathy Mortl (kmortl@mcw.edu). Good luck!

ISPAN has a diverse nursing population with decades of knowledge. From novice to expert, the journey in nursing is vast and has many roads. I would never have thought in 1993, I was an International Board member with dual certifications.

I urge each one of you to reach out to a member, ask questions, e-mail a comment to the Newsletter, just reach out.
