Upcoming Events
PRESENTING AN EXCITING SEASON OF INFUSION EDUCATION, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, NETWORKING, AND FUN, FUN, FUN!
August 9, 2008 – PSINS Social Event
Infusion FUN in Action!... for the whole family…
Join us for an exciting day of fun with family and friends. At the Puget Sound INS we consider all Infusion Nurses to be our greatest asset. Therefore, we would like to show the profound appreciation that we have for each of you. The August Social Event will be an opportunity for all of us to get to know each other and learn about each other. This event will be our opportunity to spend some time together without the trappings of an educational lecture.
This event is open to PSINS member and non-members. Any nurse who is involved in Infusion Therapy is welcome. If you deal with any type of Infusion Therapy we would like to have you join us. Additionally, family members are welcome at this event. Please bring your children, spouse or partner. Don’t fret though, you can come by yourself and have a great time too.
This will be a potluck event. PSINS will be providing hamburgers, hotdogs, plates, utensils, and napkins. Please bring a potluck dish with you that is suitable for an outdoor picnic.
We are looking forward to seeing each of you at this very special event. Click on the link to Social Event for more information.
