Spring has finally arrived, well, at least on the calendar. Some of our members are still digging out from the snow and ice, while others are experiencing summer-like temperatures. Like the weather, things are heating up for our annual conference planning. The conference podium and poster opportunities offer excellent professional engagement experience for doctoral students and junior faculty. We have 26 abstract reviewers lined up to help read and choose our podium and poster presenters. We are still working on the pre-conference and keynote speaker line up. More to come soon.
March 11, at 12 PM (EST), Dr. Sue Hassmiller gave an excellent presentation titled, Nurse Leader as Coach: Creating High Performance Teams. Her engagement with the participants left us reflecting on our roles as leaders and coach. Future webinars promise to be just as exciting and engaging. On April 7th, at 9 AM (EST) the Membership Committee is sponsoring an international themes webinar featuring a panel discussion moderated by our President, Dr. Heather Nelson-Brantley. Panel members include Dr. Joyce Fitzpatrick (Director of the Marion K. Shaunessy Leadership Academy at Case Western Reserve) and Dr. Pam Cipriano—former president of the International Council on Nursing. The title of the discussion is Navigating the Future Together: Shaping Global Nursing Leadership Through Collaborative Science and Practice.
Our next collaborative event with Nurses on Boards Coalition is on Tuesday, May 19th, 12p (EST), Dr. Oriana Beaudet will give a presentation on the theme of Innovation. Dr. Teri Chenot and her team will present on June 3rd, 12p, Aligning Magnet with Safety Competence. National Action Plan. You’ll want to place a “hold” on your calendar for these exciting educational opportunities. Dr. Jaclyn Buck and her research team will present on Tuesday, July 14, 12 – 1p (EST) on a recent study they completed titled, VR and NM Burnout.
Additionally, the Professional Development committee is still seeking members to round out the team. If interested, please contact Dr. Todd Tussing: programs@alsn.email
