MASS NAPNAP Student Night and Chapter Meeting

Join Melnic Consulting Group for the Massachusetts Chapter of NAPNAP's annual student night and chapter meeting on Tuesday, February 4, 2014 in Boston, MA.  This exciting evening will take place at Northeastern University in Shillman Hall Room 335.

This year, Jill Gilliland, CEO of Melnic Consulting Group, leader in pediatric nurse placement, will join the MASS NAPNAP event for their annual student night. Jill will provide career guidance to students, share tips on developing their network, updating their PNP resumes, preparing for PNP interviews, and landing the ideal Pediatric Nurse Practitioner job.

The MASS Chapter meeting will also have a panel of recently graduated pediatric nurse practitioners who will discuss their transition from student to practicing clinician, followed by a question and answer session.

There will be a diverse group of speakers, so this should be an interesting, dynamic discussion!

In addition to MASS NAPNAP members, PNP students in the area are encouraged to attend; previous panels have offered very sound advice that has been of use both in searching for and starting a new job. If you teach or precept students, please spread the word to all your students and encourage them to come.

Objectives of Program:
Attendees will be able to list 3 challenges to anticipate in the transition from student to practicing pediatric nurse practitioner.
