In Episode 16 of the 4NPs Podcast, we talk to Beverly Lang — MScN, RN, ANP-BC, FAANP, Executive Director for the Nurse Practitioner Association of Maryland (NPAM) and much more — about the importance of 'socialization' as an RN looking to become an NP, the many benefits of getting involved with your state's nursing association, current roadblocks the profession is facing and what organizations like hers are doing to push through them.   Notes: You can reach Beverly at <a href= "mailto:NPAMExDir@npedu.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">NPAMExDir@npedu.com</a> Mailing Office: 5372 Iron Pen Place Columbia, MD  21044 443-367-0277 (Office) 410-404-1747 (Mobile) <a href="https://www.npamonline.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.npamonline.org/&source=gmail&ust=1642531088283000&usg=AOvVaw22fxlnl5Z5sknalk3OjVKv"> Nurse Practitioner Association of Maryland (npamonline.org)</a> NPAM Email: NPAM@npedu.com Beverly is on Linkedin <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/beverly-lang-178a6082" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.linkedin.com/in/beverly-lang-178a6082&source=gmail&ust=1642531088283000&usg=AOvVaw0_iMtxCEEsNrpxDdyqixzr">linkedin.com/in/beverly-lang-178a6082</a> Dental Sleep Solutions of Maryland, LLC - <a href="http://www.4abettersleep.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.4abettersleep.com&source=gmail&ust=1642531088283000&usg=AOvVaw3WM7QtzYa_WZyPt0li-lT6">www.4abettersleep.com</a>

What Can Your Nurse Educator Do for You? Meet Michele Persico!

We are Oneida, Colleen, Alicia and Christina. Four women who met in nursing school 17 years ago. We've been through it all: school, work, balancing life, relationships, children, new careers, more education, more new careers and now, this podcast. As nurses we are part of a sisterhood; as friends, we support each other through it all. We've learned the hard way that there isn't much support out there for new nurses/practitioners, so we decided to start this podcast to talk about it.
