Sharing time!
Most everyone, I suspect, has more than enough work to do in their limited day! I don't want to add to your already full reading load, however, if you are interested in social media and how it fits into our world of health care providers, you may appreciate reading this blog - 33charts.com. It is written by Bryan Vartabedian, MD, a pediatric gastroenterologist at Texas Children's Hospital/Baylor College of Medicine. He is often inclusive in his language and I appreciate his references to nurses and nurse practitioners!
I hope you will share blogs, books, or anything else of professional interest!

Excitement about March conference!
Having an opportunity to "get off the rock," as we say in Sitka, is cause for some excitement! Sitka, Alaska is a pretty nice place to live! In fact, many folks take an Alaskan cruise just to visit our lovely city by the sea. My usual reason for leaving is to go to see my grandchildren. Aside from that, one of my favorite reasons for leaving Sitka is to go to the annual NAPNAP conference! The chance to hear all those great conference talks and mingle with people I have so much in common with makes me feel pretty good.
Kudos to the conference planners for doing such an awesome (and I do mean HUGE as well as WONDERFUL) job at putting together such diverse topics, so there is something for everyone.
If you have not yet made plans to attend, it is not too late! http://www.napnap.org/Events/AnnualConference.aspx
Our eChapter is just two years old! We have an opportunity to help define NAPNAP for those with unique outreach challenges as well as those who desire to have a more eco-friendly and sustainable method of networking and sharing. Whatever your interest, let your voice be heard! If unable to attend the Baltimore conference, email or share a comment on the blog! The eChapter board is anxious to hear from you and how we can better serve you!
Be safe out there!

Exciting incentive!
Have you tried the new KINDLE? I have not, but I have heard great things about having all my books in one small space! If you are anything like me, your books are taking over your home and office like a contagion.
The eChapter board has decided to offer an incentive for those eChapter members who come to the NAPNAP conference in Baltimore. Plan to attend the eChapter annual meeting on Friday, March 25th from 9 - 11. You will want to be there for the whole meeting as we will pass out tickets early and one KINDLE will be given away!
Keep watching the blog - details of the meeting will be posted!

Welcome to the NAPNAP eChapter blog!
This is our first attempt at blogging for the NAPNAP eChapter! We are searching for ways to make our chapter more accessible to members and create a stronger social network, Most of us have chosen the eChapter option because we live where no state NAPNAP chapter exists or we do not have easy access to a state NAPNAP chapter. Whatever your reason, we welcome you and invite you to be as active a participant as your life allows!
We hope you have your NAPNAP member number and password so that you can log into the NAPNAP website and take advantage of the great resources available to all NAPNAP members. We especially hope you will log onto "Our Community" and complete your profile, maybe even download a picture of yourself! We are anxious to connect with you and hear of your accomplishments and needs. To log in go to:
Welcome and we look forward to hearing from you!
