Dear Dawna,

I am an educator in Pittsburgh PA. I did something like this before,
and this is what I would do....I would start with an education day for
cardiac nurses. You could put together some speakers and ceu
opportunities. Nurses would come, and you could create a forum for a
dialog about organizing a group (say over a boxed lunch). Interested
nurses would attend the "education day", and you could at the same
time show the benefits of membership (collaboration & education). A
local community college could sponsor this day and help with CEU's too.

Good luck,
Becky Cox-Davneport

that are prepared and educated to care for the cardiovascular
population. This organization would enhance the many avenues of
education offered to nurses. Thank you for the motivational speech.
I have passed it on to the other board members.
