Welcome to the New RICSNTA Online Community

Posted over 4 years ago by Emilie Cunningham-Joost

Hi RICSNTA Member,

RICSNTA is pleased to announce a new benefit for our members (you).  The Rhode Island Certified School Nurse Teacher Association (RICSNTA) online community is now live!  All RICSNTA members are automatically included in the community, you must be an active member to participate in the discussion forum. The community is very much like the NASN All Member Forum but it is a space just for RICSNTA members to discuss and share topics of particular interest to practices in Rhode Island.

We are excited about this new resource because it will keep us connected in between our RICSNTA face-to-face meetings and help us share knowledge throughout the year.  The new online community is professional and private and the provides a tangible member benefit.  The community discussion list will also help RICSNTA to communicate more dynamically with you, respond more quickly to your needs, and receive your input on critical industry issues.

Below is a little more information about the community.  We'd love to hear what you think.  Please reply to the group and let us and your peers know!

The RICSNTA community has a discussion list, resource library, member directory and more.
