February 25, 5pm - Winter CSNABC meeting + Act 48 Speaker @ BCIU#22 in Doylestown

5pm- General Membership meeting

530pm - Ann Stillwater will be presenting on The School Nurse as Second Victim: Medication Errors and Other Traumas.  She is a (retired) School Nurse from the Harrisburg area who has presented on this topic at PASNAP (2022) and has had work published in the Journal of School Nursing. It is very exciting to have her present on this important topic. 

Healthcare providers who are emotionally traumatized by mistakes or other adverse events are named second victims (Wu, 2000). The patient is the first victim, and the caregiver who made the mistake is the second victim and also deserves care.  School nursing is just beginning to recognize this issue while other health care sub-specialties have more resources and research.

Everyone makes mistakes. 
Mistakes are unavoidable. Nurses make mistakes. Doctors make mistakes. We all make mistakes and are not alone.

March 7th, 8pm
