Current Monthly Briefing
March 2010
Our efforts to provide advance notification of recertification deadlines by regular mail are frequently thwarted by incorrect postal addresses we have on file. It would be preferable, of course, to have everyone’s email contact. It is more likely to be up-to-date and avoids postal costs. We are in pretty good shape with all of you who have certified in the last several years. However, our records are less impressive for many who have been around a lot longer. Please ensure that the corporate office (nbdhmt@aol.com) has your email address when you have a moment.
Look our for us at the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society Annual Scientific Meeting, June 3-5, in St. Petersburg, Florida, and Hyperbaric Medicine 2010, Columbia, South Carolina. We will have exhibitor booths at both of these meetings. Stop by and meet our administrative staff and Board Members. At the UHMS meeting we will again host a ‘Breakfast with the Board’. The Board’s certification activities will be updated as you enjoy a complimentary breakfast. This proved very popular last year, with some 70 in attendance. This is another good opportunity to get your questions addressed and represents a useful forum for comments and discussion.
Recent visitors to the Board’s website will have recognized a new logo. Nurses now have clear representation on the Home Page via very nicely designed imagery. With the development of a CHRN specific logo we have been able to introduce merchandise specific to the certified hyperbaric nurse. Check out these and several other additions to the Online Store link using the link provided on the Home Page.
