Christine Tebaldi PMHNP-BC, Chair of the APNA Institute on mental Health Advocacy spoke of the work of that National committee to monitor and become involved in the organizations that make decisions about our practice
-
Winnie Kennedy PMHCNS-BC, shared her vision for NYS psychiatric nurses and the impact of the IOM report On Nursing on our practice in the future

Anthony Ritaccio MD, a neurologist gave an interesting lecture of the almost sci-fi interface of the brain and computer in his work and its implications to practice.
It was a wonderful day for networking as we had a total of 119 psychiatric nurses from across the state in attendance!!
