RIGHT NOW

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2018

Nurses are highly respected professionals with the power and influence to lead meaningful change. As a nursing student or recent graduate, you are at the crossroads – both personally and professionally – as you choose your path in nursing!

CNSA’s 2018 Annual Convention will empower you with knowledge and tools to innovate, engage and lead as you launch your nursing career. Our Convention opens with an enlightening presentation by nursing thought leader, Judee Berg, as she describes the expanding roles for RNs in today’s care environment. On Saturday, we have two compelling presentations examining nursing care in catastrophic situations and the human trafficking epidemic. On Sunday, our endnote – Nurse Practitioner Genevieve Handy – will share her inspirational story of providing care to those in need through Operation Smile.

In addition, we’ve planned a variety of breakout sessions to help you maximize your nursing school experience, build your leadership skills, land your first job as an RN and learn more about advanced practice and specialty roles. You’ll also have the opportunity to interact with our industry partners, participate in the House of Delegates, receive career coaching from a nurse leader and network with students from across California!
