    Welcome to VACN Connect!  As part of the VACN website, we have an online community network allowing us the flexibility of communication to our group without the burden of emails and list serves.  This service, hosted by the AACN, works similarly to other online communities hosted by AACN such as the Organizational Leadership Network, Practice Leadership Network, etc. Pose a question, share news, and send notes of congratulations through VACN Connect!  As a reminder, VACN Connect is only open to VACN members.

    Take a moment to introduce yourself in this discussion thread, or start up a new thread if you already have a topic for the group!

    Hello Everyone,
    In response to Jean's posting, I'll introduce myself though I know most of you.  I'm Julie Sanford, Director of the School of Nursing at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia.  I look forward to seeing you at the March AACN meeting in DC! 

    Do we have a time set up yet for our usual dinner or lunch?  

    Have a great rest of your week,
    Julie
