YNP Happenings
If you do decide to join, some
organizations can feel daunting.
Perhaps we don’t feel like the other
members want our input since we’re
new. Maybe we don’t believe that we
will ever get to make a difference
and meet the leaders of the
organization.
Letter from the Editor
Hello, YNPs!
After graduating from nursing
school, life becomes a bit
overwhelming. Taking and passing
boards, finding and starting a job,
learning once you start your job that
you really didn’t learn anything in
nursing school…or was that just
me? Anyway, becoming an active
member of a professional
organization, while we know it’s
important, can feel like just another
thing on our “To Do” list.
But I’ve found that the YNP group
really does stand by and fulfill its
mission to help young nurses, and
being a YNP has provided me with
opportunities to not just be a nurse,
but truly feel part of the nursing
profession at large.

see how the YNPs can help YOU!

about the YNPs of PSNA is that
those hesitations or fears aren’t
true. The YNPs is a group that
caters to the needs of new nurses,
such as providing CEs, networking
opportunities with nurse leaders,
and social events to meet other
YNPs.
But we wanted to hear from you!
So, we asked other YNP
members…
