INS Northern Virginia Capitol Chapter

It is with great sadness that we announce the termination of ALL INS local chapters in the country. It was a decision made by the National Chapter and as of April 27th we no longer have a Northern Virginia Capitol Chapter. We are thankful for the years of education and networking we all gained from our group. We wish everyone the best! If you still have our contact information, please keep in touch! We will miss our get togethers immensely.

Sincerely,
John (President), Kris (Secretary) and Julie (Treasurer).

We had a wonderful time at The Barns of Hamilton Station winery for our annual INS day (that we always postpone from January). Great catered food, delicious wines and even better company! News on upcoming educational dinners to come. Trying to set up a few for the fall. Stay tuned!

Had a wonderful day yesterday at The Barns of Hamilton Station to celebrate National Infusion Nurse Day (a few months late- 😁)! Enjoyed delicious food, wine and great company! Small turnout but it was great to really get to catch up with people!

Hello fellow INS members! We are planning an Infusion RN outing on Sunday, Aug 27, 11-2, at The Barns of Hamilton Station which is a winery in Hamilton, west of Leesburg. It’s where we held it May 2022. Let us know if you can make it as we need a head count. We will get some catered food plus there will be wine (included) on that day. Nice way to end our summer! Looking forward to seeing you!!

Thank you to Lynn Gobeille from Pharmacosmos for presenting and sponsoring our latest INS dinner at Capital Grille in Tysons! Subject was Hypersensitivity Reactions with IV Iron. Lots of interesting information was shared i.e. IgE reactions vs CARPA reactions and the differences. Stay tuned for possible March dinner details!! New board member elections will be held by Zoom - date TBD.

Today we recognize the nurses who have dedicated themselves to nursing professionalism, excellence, recognition, & service.

Did you know? The Certified Registered Nurse Infusion (CRNI®) credential is the only nationally recognized and accredited certification in infusion nursing. INCC’s dual accreditations establish that the CRNI® credential is the most reliable method of validating a nurse’s expertise in the infusion therapy specialty.
