The Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Society (PCICS) is an International professional forum that promotes excellence in pediatric cardiac critical care medicine. Nursing has developed a strong voice and presence within the organization. In fact, under the leadership of the current President, Peter Laussen, MD, the society has reorganized its governmental structure for nursing to be in full partnership with their interdisciplinary colleagues. The bylaws and PCICS Board of Directors will now include nursing in full partnership (inclusive of a nursing Vice President and ultimately will make up 50% of the board). This is an exciting time for nursing and we need you to become members of PCICS and participate in the first voting cycle to include nursing on the Board of Directors ballot. The timeline is short so please act now.
