Bay Coast Section President's Message
Sabina Muresan, MSN, BSN, RN, RCSN

 


Dear Bay Coast CSNO Section Member,
      We want to take the opportunity to thank you for your commitment to improving the health of school children. CSNO appreciates you being part of the organization and supports you in your practice.  On the CSNO Website, www.csno.org, you can find the newest updates and information, essential to your school nurse practice, as well as information about state and section conferences and other online events. 

     We welcome you and encourage you to get involved in Bay Coast's various activities, such as conferences that offer you essential information for your school nurse practice as well as contact hours through the California Board of Registered Nursing.  Should you be interested in getting involved in CSNO Leadership positions, we encourage you to do so as you will be participating in building the California School Nurses Organization forward. Networking with Bay Coast Section members is a way to get the support that you need. Your section and I am here to support you.  Should you need anything, please email me at [email protected].  You may also contact Monika Katyal at the CSNO Office at 916-448-5752 or email [email protected]. 
Welcome to CSNO! 

Sincerely,
Sabina Muresan, MSN, BSN, RN, RCSN,
CSNO Bay Coast Section President
