"My mentor Patty Bozeman told me; you have to go to this meeting you will get so much out of it! Well 32 years later, I am still going to the meeting and an active member of SVN. The reason is simple, SVN meetings and the lifelong friends (members) I have met has enabled me to LOVE absolutely what I do! Thank you to the original founding members, you have created an amazing professional society!”

“I joined as a novice bedside nurse, only expecting to glean knowledge of the vascular patient. There was that and so much more. SVN gives the ability to network with national nursing leaders, provides expert content and encourages individual professional growth. I never thought I would lecture on a national stage, be a part of a Board of Directors, or add to vascular education and research. It is so much more than a society; it is a network of friends with a shared passion.”
