Hello all!
First off, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Amber Thichangthong and I am the newest addition to the staff in Arlington. This blog will explore my experience as a new member of the APNA family. My goal is to engage and jump start the APNA blogging community by participating frequently and posting at least two times a week about my experiences.

Happy New Year! Time is flying by and I’m pleased to report that 2012 is starting out strong for us at APNA.
In a few weeks the APNA Board of Directors will be meeting to discuss our biggest agenda item currently on the table - revising APNA’s strategic plan. The strategic plan is what guides the association - setting out specific goals and ways to achieve those goals - and in a broader sense it defines the envisioned future of APNA. We have asked for your input to inform and guide us as we revise the plan. Thanks to all of you who we have heard from; your input is invaluable in this process. The APNA staff is busy collating your responses, which are what will essentially steer our strategic planning meeting. We are also dialoguing with our Inter-Council Council, a council consisting of the co-chairs from all of the APNA councils. Gathering input from them is another way to discern what’s important to our membership for the strategic planning process.

Does anyone know of an inpatient acuity scale that is specific to Psychiatry? Our facility uses Quadramed for all the nursing units and has attempted to apply it to psychiatry however I was looking for something more specifically related to psychiatry.

Nurses are assaulted on a daily basis. Some nurses died from their injuries or suffers the long-term consequences of assaults, such as eye injuries, back injuries, and psychological trauma. Long-term exposure to violence leads to social, emotional and psychological distress (Chapman, Perry, Styles, & Combs, 2009). Nurses are unable to share their experiences because of various reasons there are states such as NY which enacted the Violence Against Nurses law, a physical attack against an Registered Nurse or License Practical Nurse on duty is a Class D felony, subject to a maximum of seven years in prison.
