This joining of the two groups has expanded the membership to make us a statewide chapter. The mission of our chapter is threefold - networking, education, and communication. For information about a group in your area, contact the regional representative or any of the chapter officers. Our membership includes nurses from across the state. All current members of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association living or working in Pennsylvania are encouraged to join the chapter.
Regional meetings are bimonthly and a statewide conference is held each winter.
Board meetings are held in person at the APNA national meeting and at the state conference and in an online chat room bimonthly. All meetings are open to any interested member. In addition to the chapter business, there is an educational component to each of our meetings. The regional education committees arrange speakers for this purpose. We save time at each meeting to discuss job opportunities and any other current issues of interest.
