President Message

Hello!

As we enter a season filled with celebrations—graduations, promotions, weddings, and more—I hope you will also consider joining us in celebrating AzPANA at the upcoming ASPAN National Conference in San Francisco, CA. Several board members and colleagues from across the state will be presenting posters and delivering podium presentations. It would be wonderful to see strong support for our fellow perianesthesia colleagues as they continue advancing the specialty and bringing perianesthesia nursing to the forefront of our work.

As you plan your summer adventures and well-deserved time away, please also consider continuing your professional development with AzPANA. We invite you to join us for our upcoming Summer Conference on Saturday, June 6, at the Bob Bové Neuroscience Institute at HonorHealth Osborn in Scottsdale.

Spend part of your day with us learning about:

• Geriatric Delirium

• Human Trafficking

• Vigilant Perianesthesia Care

• Sustainability in Perianesthesia

• Patient Safety and Capnography

You can register soon at www.azpana.org.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to any member of the AzPANA Board or visit our website.

Wishing you a fun, safe, and enriching spring!

Jessica Gentes, MSN, RN, CHSE, CPN
