The Veterans Affairs SIG provides a forum for VA ambulatory care nurses to discuss problems, share solutions and creative programs; and keep in touch across the country.
About
Goals
- To promote the American Academy of Ambulatory Care Nursing (AAACN) initiatives related to Standards of Care and Practice.
- To provide the opportunity to enhance collaborative relationships.
The VA SIG communicates on a periodic basis with its membership via articles in the AAACN ViewPoint publication, as well as via the VA SIG Community. We also hold monthly conference call meetings (SIG members are invited via eblast and the Community).
