INPD Spring Meeting

We had a lovely breakfast meeting at the Little America coffee shop. Thanks to everyone who made it. Here are the notes from the meeting:

Fall Conference (Sept? Oct? Location?)

Speaker: Greg Durkin – “How to Enjoy Your Job” Presentation

• Consensus to have Greg come

Conference, Education Ideas: 

• Telehealth
• Quality related/evidence based practice (How to drive)
• Have a presentation of educator’s evidence based practice projects
• Paula Julander – Politics
• Legal Ramifications, litigation against nurses, have a nurse lawyer come
• Informal leader as an educator
• Motivating and influencing people
• Send an inquiry out of members who want to be on the conference committee:
• Annette Welch would like to be included
• Susan Peterson – Lone peak as well
• Suzanne Carlisle will make a quilt to raffle off
• Come up with a list of conference objects and a target audience
• Possibly extend an invitation to any Clinical educator, not necessarily nurses
• Have Annette present her ANPD National Conference Presentation – Facilitating Facilitators

Other ideas: 

• Have more often at Little America – have people pay their own way
• Bring back a service project 
• Send group a directory of INPD members with contact information 
• Send a link to the INPD blog
• Add the list serves as a reference on the blog
• There is a concern if we have more ANPD certified Professional Development Specialists, how can they get more CEU’s to maintain certification
• Host ANPD webinars for the group
• Friday mornings still work best for most

We will definitely plan more meetings at Little America. It was fun!
