Suggested topical areas include (but are not limited to):
International connections-explore how to partner with an international chapter, how to support our students in international collaborations, how to encourage international students in our programs.
Technology talk-several programs have active online courses, new simulations, PDA's, informatics and we can share strategies for using these and evaluating these in nursing education.
Vulnerable Pops & Health Disparities-Latino Health, MRSA, HIV, Rural health, Breast Cancer, etc.
New programs-Innovative programs in nursing include the CNL, DNP, Nurse Executive, EdD with Nursing Specialty, etc.
Professionalism & Collegiality-Good Work Collaboration, workplace relationships and others.
Needed programs-Much needed programs are underway for orientation of new clinical faculty and transitioning new grads.
