My involvement with APGNN was in the infancy of the organization. I experienced amazing professional growth. I especially treasure the mentorship freely offered by the leaders in the organization. It made me a better pediatric GI nurse, and my institution benefited immeasurably. I am retired now and miss you all!
I appreciate having the opportunity to reach out to Peds GI advanced practice providers and learn about others way of practicing
Lauren Del Bosque, PA-C The Children's Hospital of San Antonio
Being involved as a board member of APGNN has been such a wonderful experience. I have made friends across the country with other APGNN members and the board members. It is great to have contacts in the pediatric GI institutions across the nation. I am also growing my leadership and organizational skills as an executive board member and President Elect - an experience I wouldn't have in my current job position. I encourage any APGNN member to consider participating in the various committees and see the benefits you gain from the experience!

APGNN
I had the privilege of serving on the APGNN board from 2019-2021. During this time, I grew both professionally and personally and found the opportunity extremely rewarding. I was able to broaden both my GI knowledge by working on projects such a GIkids.org as well as my network both with Peds GI doctors as well as nurses and Advanced Practice Providers. APGNN has been an invaluable resource to me and my GI colleagues and I am so thankful for this organization.
