It is with deep sadness that NBCSN shares that Pat Krin passed away on July 7th. Pat recently retired as the Executive Director of NBCSN. Many of you knew Pat as the face of NBCSN as she was a passionate advocate for school nurses to advance their knowledge and profession through certification. Under her leadership, NBCSN grew and thrived, boasting 5000+ nationally certified school nurses. Pat was a visionary and possessed exceptional leadership skills. She served the school nurse community in various ways throughout her career.
For some, Pat was the reason they saw themselves getting involved in national conversations and advocacy related to school nursing. She was a frequent presenter at the NASN Annual Conference and served in many leadership roles with the CT Association of School Nurses and NASN. She greeted everyone with a smile and was always the first to offer a helping hand. For all, Pat will be missed as a colleague, friend, and mentor.
