2013 promises to be an exciting New Year in Mohawk Valley and especially for nursing leaders, nurses, students and interested parties. On April 24, 2013, the Mohawk Valley NPA in collaboration with SUNYIT will host a nursing icon, our founding mother of NP practice : Dr Loretta Ford.

Titled, " Threading Nursing Legacy Into the 21st Century", the teaching day  will offer continuing education credits and a day long introspective of current events and subject matters. A SAVE THE DATE is forthcoming with all particular information.

The officers of the 2013 Mohawk Valley NPA are as follows:

President : Brenda Carney MSN, FNP-C

Vice President : Deanna Brady MSN, FNP, NPP

Secretary: Kristen Tooker MSN. FNP-C

Treasurer: Kathy Marollo MSN, ANP-C

We offer to you our service: the members and the non- member NPs in the Oneida and Herkimer Counties. We wish you all a healthy, safe, educated, proficient and progressive new year. We hope to evoke renewed enthusiasm and excitement in our nursing science and endeavors.

Together, you, we and the NPA  provide leadership, direction and resource for those so inclined to venture into this territory of caring compassion and educated decision making. May we all move forward in synchronicity to further the goals of NP professional development and placement in healthcare. Extend a hand, forward an email and offer a place to learn , grow and develop fully in our profession for 2013.

 In the words of Dr. Ford, " everything I did in life worthwhile, I caught hell for!"

We look forward to seeing you in 2013!
