Why Get Involved

Many people volunteer because it makes them feel good to give back to their profession. In addition, there are some specific benefits that make volunteering with PCNA a smart move for nurses.

Build Your Skills

We have opportunities to build your skillset, no matter where you are in your career.

  • Are you new to giving educational presentations? Chapter events are a great stepping stone for gaining experience in front of a smaller audience.
  • Is developing educational content more suited to your interests? Opportunities to create continuing education slide decks for our chapter library aren’t just for experts – those who are interested in learning more about a topic are encouraged to apply.
  • Hesitant to submit an abstract to larger conferences that are highly competitive? PCNA’s Annual Cardiovascular Nursing Symposium is a great place to get started. Our meeting is friendly and welcoming, and we have mentors available to help you before you even submit your abstract.

Develop Your Leadership Skills

Share your experiences and demonstrate your commitment to advancing the nursing profession by becoming an abstract mentor or applying to join a PCNA Committee.

Advance the Profession

Are you an expert in an area of cardiovascular disease prevention and management? Share your expertise with the rest of the nursing community when you help to develop patient education or webinar content.

Network and Build a Support System

By joining a chapter leadership team or starting a chapter in your area, you’ll have the opportunity to work with other cardiovascular nurses in your area.
