As all of you may already know AMEN is the recognized nursing affiliate division of the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine and continues to move forward to align itself with other professional organizations. We are happy to announce our accepted membership into two organizations devoted to issues on certification.

1. National Organization for Competency Assurance (NOCA). Noca was established in 1977 to serve as a clearinghouse for information on the latest trends and issues of concern to practitioners and organizations focused on certification, licensure, and human recourses development. Noca is recognized as a leader in setting quality standards for credentialing programs for all types of businesses.

2. American Board of Nursing Specialties (ABNS). ABNS was established in 1991 to create uniformity in nursing certification and to increase public awareness of the value of quality certification. ABNS maintains a national peer review program for nursing specialty certifications.

The Conference will be held October 14th and 15TH ,2007 A review will be offered for a fee on Sunday the 14th after the conference and the exam will be given on Monday the 15th after the conference.

AMEN President Does it Again!!

Sasha Parker, our President has done it again. She was inducted into the Who’s Who in Education, Who’s Who in American Women, and the Global Who’s Who Directory for 2006-2007 and is being considered for inclusion into the Who’s Who in Medicine and Science. She was recently notified of her Business Woman of the Year award for 2005 (if you recall she went to Washington DC to accept her 2004 award) and is still an elected member to the National Business Advisory Council. Sasha has been named the leader in the esthetic education industry and continues to be a key panelist and speaker for the National Nurses in Business Association, University of California Irvine, American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine and most recently the Electrology Associations and Credentialing programs in the U. S. Her commitment and passion are greatly appreciated. Thank You Sasha!!
