Good Morning GRAC members,

We started off the season with a GREAT lecture by Dr. Eckel for September. As one of my colleagues said to me, “ It was really exciting to see all of the people, the networking, and the comraderie.”

Our theme  this year is “STEP FORWARD”.

1.       Value Certification: I encourage each and every one of you to “step forward” and take that step in recognizing and validating your excellence in nursing care by becoming “certified” to ensure our practice is consistent with established standards of excellence. GRAC has been a longstanding Chapter. It’s time for us to apply for the Chapter Award in promoting the Value of Certification 2014 ! Adult CCRN certification review live webinar begins Oct 28th. Check out AACN.  PCCN is also on the AACN certification website

2.       Engage New Members: Increase our number of members by inviting a New Graduate Nurses to attend. Remember: These nurses are our future and maybe our bedside nurse someday.

3.       Beacon Award for Excellence: Check out AACN for this award. Our treasurer, Kim Willis can put you in contact with the Wake Med areas that have won this award.

4.       Community Service: We will continue the food drive for November. Bring canned goods to the October meeting as well as the November meeting. Step on Sepsis Oct 26th Saturday at 9:00am Koka Booth Amphitheatre –Regency Park will be on our website.

Thank you for attending and being a part of our GREAT GRAC-AACN Chapter

I look forward to an exciting year with everyone!
