From SVN President: This coming year we will continue to partner more creatively, strive for innovation; particularly in areas to increase our income, add more online learning courses and expand our scientific role with guidelines and publications. As SVN takes on new challenges and seeks opportunities we will be guided by our longstanding belief that as nurses, we are at the forefront of patient care and possess an influential voice. Together we can help improve the outcomes for individuals with vascular diseases by providing earlier access to diagnosis, provide education and management of risk factors all in an effort to enhance quality of life. ~Marge Lovell,

Society for Vascular Nursing - PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
SVN's 30th Anniversary gives us an opportunity to reflect on our past successes and look at our vision for the future. Thirty years ago Jeanne Doyle hosted a small group of "self proclaimed vascular nurses" who had a dream of finding vascular nurses from across the country to promote awareness of vascular diseases.

Feel like a juggler in a 3-ring circus sometimes?

Nurse: Are You An Expert Juggler?
One thing to remember about nursing: the patients are not the hardest part. Nursing, especially the hands-on specialties, is an ongoing juggling act of the desires and needs of the patient, the rules of the institution and standards of care, the orders of the docs, and our own personal perception of what's REALLY going on.
