Continuing Education and Accreditation


Online Continuing Education Certificate and Evaluation Center
As a continuation of the practice we began in Indianapolis, you will be able to access the Continuing Education Certificate and Evaluation Center via the internet at any time during the conference and for 30-days following the end of the conference. We will still provide some computers onsite dedicated to this purpose, but we highly encourage you to take advantage of this online system. We are providing this added benefit in an effort to allow you the freedom to maximize your time onsite - no need to stand in line or waste educational time completing your evaluations. You can access the link in your hotel or simply wait until you return home to complete your evaluations and print your certificates.

Once you complete your evaluations during the month after the conference, we will be temporarily taking down the site to run reports and do general maintenance.  The site will be posted again in May so that you may print any certificates you may have lost or misplaced.

Target Audience:
Aspiring nurse leaders, nurse managers, nurse directors, nurse executives and senior nurse leaders would benefit from these educational sessions.

Learning Objectives: 
At the end of this educational activity, attendees will be able to:
• Participate in educational sessions based on the latest thinking in a number of contemporary issue areas that directly impact the nursing community.
• Learn about innovative patient care delivery projects, as well as, new and improved communication processes in our pre-conference sessions.
