 PERIANESTHESIA NURSES ASSOCIATION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (PANBC)!
Congratulations to the PeriAnesthesia Nurses of British Columbia for your tenacity and diligence in rejuvenating your specialty's association!
In case the reader isn't aware, PANBC recently went through a metamorphosis: after years of dedicated hard work, the membership of BC's only PeriAnesthesia Nurses association declined, partially due to the recent recession, but also for other social and political reasons.
But thanks to the fortitude of 3 of British Columbia's PeriAnesthesia Nurses: Laurel Archer, Lorna Jensen and Peggy Lee, this association is active again with a membership drive underway, and already this month 27 new member recruits....with more lining up to join!
Is it because of the fervour of the Olympic games, soon underway in Vancouver that has spurred the attention to our own association? Is it because we know how large a nursing population there is in BC and how many PeriAnesthesia Nurses there are without an association? We don't know, but we DO know that by joining this very busy association, BC PeriAnesthesia Nurses have much to gain by joining their one and only provincial association.
Here are some of the benefits of joining PANBC:
1. Membership and networking with other PeriAnesthesia Nurses in your own province.
2. Networking with other PeriAnesthesia Nurses who are members of their national association (automatic membership to NAPANc with your PANBC membership), from across Canada.
3. Discounted rates on all Conferences at the provincial and national levels.
4. Discount on the purchase of a set of Standards for Practice, First Edition, published by the National Association of PeriAnesthesia Nurses of Canada, 2008.
5. A website full of information, current and uptodate: www.panbc.net.
6. Eligibility to apply for NAPANc Bursaries.
And so much more......
