Making a Difference in the PeriAnesthesia Nursing Community
From its inception, ASPAN Development has been a key partner in helping ASPAN define the role of the perianesthesia nurse and strengthen the practice. ASPAN Development utilizes its resources to implement initiatives focused on:
Scholarships & Awards that provide opportunities for enhanced clinical training and increased knowledge throughout the perianesthesia nursing profession. Funding support for those aspiring to pursue and advanced degree, achieve certification or participate in continuing education opportunities is a major thrust.
Public Awareness & Education initiatives that foster greater understanding of the importance of perianesthesia nurses and their impact on a patient's quality of life. Instituting public education campaigns that demonstrate ASPAN's commitment to positively addressing matters of concern to the profession, and patient issues serve to bridge the gap in our pursuit of public recognition and understanding.
Research that enhances the body of knowledge that leads to improved patient outcomes and nursing productivity is at the heart of the Development's effort to sustain and expand research endeavors. In so doing, ASPAN Development labors to be proactive in creating avenues for dialogue with industry and other societies with similar objectives to foster the dissemination of information generated through research, provide leadership in articulating the aims of research and identify and support efforts to achieve these goals.
