What an awesome meeting we had at The Girl & The Raven – if you haven’t checked them out yet, be sure to visit! A huge thank you to everyone who joined us. 🙌 Don’t forget to tag yourself in the photo!

I’m thrilled to see Southwest Virginia Nurse Practitioners becoming more involved, not only at the local level but on the state level too. Big things are ahead, and it starts with us! 💪

📅 Save the date for our next meeting: August 3rd! Let’s spread the word and invite nurse practitioners from all fields to join. Together, we can make the Southwest Virginia VCNP Region the loudest advocates for our patients, ourselves, and our colleagues! 🎤 #AdvocacyStartsWithUs #VCNP #SouthwestVirginia

Had an awesome morning with Tauna Gulley, Coetta Neece, and Tammy Branham at Huddle House in Wise! 🌟 We’re heading your way, Abingdon – lookout! Who knows the best breakfast spots in Abingdon? Let’s keep the good eats going! 🥓🍴 #VCNP #BreakfastWithFriends #AbingdonHereWeCome

We had a wonderful breakfast at Cracker Barrel in Wytheville – whether you’re into their famous pancakes or savory breakfast platters, there was something for everyone! 😋

Come to our next meeting! Thinking about bringing along a fellow Nurse Practitioner? We’d love to welcome new faces and fresh perspectives into VCNP. Let’s grow together!

🌟 #VCNP #BreakfastGathering #NewMembersWelcome

I’m Cassie Sheffey, the new President for our region, and I’m excited to work with all of you to grow our community! 🤝

A little about me: I work for the Department of Corrections in a Maximum Security Male Prison. Outside of work, I’m a proud mom of two wonderful kids, wife to a motorcycle enthusiast, and the caretaker of 6 chickens! 🐔

I’m thrilled to share that the amazing Carole Everhart, our past president, will continue helping us in various ways!

I know meeting attendance has been a concern, so I’d love your input to make our gatherings better. Here are a few quick questions:
1️⃣ Would another day or time work better for meetings?
2️⃣ Would you prefer Zoom, telephone conference, or in-person meetings?
3️⃣ Would a CE component encourage more participation?

I can’t wait to hear your thoughts and meet everyone soon! Let’s make this a great year together! 🌟
