The National Conference for Nurse Practitioners (NCNP): The Conference for Primary and Acute Care Clinicians will be held September 24-27, 2019, at The Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas, Nev. Experts in the field will present a broad range of topics for advanced practice NPs working in both primary and acute care. Some of the topics to be covered include pain management, fundamentals of dermatology, battling obesity, chronic and acute cough, treating sepsis, lab data interpretation, type 2 diabetes, polypharmacy, and much more.
Ruth Kleinpell, PhD, RN, FAAN, will be kickstarting the event with her keynote address, Building Resilience: Strategies for Healthcare Clinicians. The increasing interest in burnout among healthcare providers is raising awareness regarding the importance of addressing, mitigating, and preventing burnout. Research has established that both organizational and individual interventions can contribute to resiliency and reduce the risk of burnout. This keynote explains measures to build resilience and highlights strategies for healthcare clinicians.
