    New SIG

    The Veterans Affairs and Tri-Service SIGs have merged to become the Federal Nursing SIG! Whether you work in Public Health Service, Indian Health Services, Veteran Affairs, Defense Health Agency, or other federally funded agencies and health centers, the Federal Nursing SIG is your professional home! I'm looking forward to seeing many of you online in what I think will be an active community.
