Odds are, you'll prosper from Nursing Management's annual leadership convention-Congress2008-rolling into Las Vegas September 28 through October 2. Sponsored by Wolters Kluwer Health|Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, publisher of Nursing Management journal, Congress2008 is the leading conference for new, experienced, and aspiring nurse managers.
Network with colleagues, meet faculty and industry experts, and visit countless exhibits that offer alternatives and strategies for improving care delivery. In addition, you can accrue up to 31 nursing continuing education contact hours, which is key to your professional development.
New to this year's program is a breakout executive track, designed specifically for VPs, CNOs, and CNEs. Also debuting this year is a 2-day new manager intensive workshop and a general session update on Magnet accreditation. These features are in addition to the activities attendees have come to expect and appreciate-including more than 40 diverse general and breakout sessions, daily poster presentations, and numerous networking opportunities.
And once again, several prominent nursing organizations have endorsed Congress2008, including the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses, the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, American Organization of Nurse Executives, and Sigma Theta Tau International, Honor Society of Nursing.
It's never easy to take time off from work, but we hope you'll clear your calendar to join us in Vegas next month. You'll return to your organization a winner, armed with the contemporary knowledge and rejuvenated spirit you'll need to handle any challenges headed your way.
