INS 2014Lining Up to Infuse

Excellence

At the age of 29, adventurer Alan Hobson set out to realize his greatest childhood dream. It took him 10 grueling expeditions to high altitude, three to Mt. Everest, and a decade of intense fundraising, training, and organizational effort before he finally stood on top of the world.

Incredibly, an even greater challenge lay ahead. Three years after stepping down from the summit of Everest, Alan came face-to-face with “The Everest of Illnesses” when he was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer of the blood and given less than a year to live. After a blood stem cell transplant for acute myeloid leukemia, he has beaten the odds again and is considered officially medically cured.

The story of Alan Hobson’s life is a breathtaking portrait in passion, persistence, and peak performance spanning four decades. He is not only an Everest climber, summiteer, and cancer survivor, but an international best-selling author of half a dozen books, a former nine-time All-American gymnast, marathon runner, hang glider pilot, white water kayaker, cold water scuba diver, parachutist, journalist, and winner of the prestigious William Randolph Hearst Award for Excellence in News Writing. Alan’s next expedition is the one he is currently on—to continue his miraculous climb back from cancer and help as many others as possible do the same.

Alan Hobson“My ‘Inner Everest’ has dwarfed the outer one. I see life now from a new perspective. Success isn’t about height. It’s about depth.”

Speed Networking Monday, May 5, 5:00 – 6:00 PM We’ve simplified the networking process and made it more fun!

Celebration of Excellence Tuesday, May 6, 7:30 – 10:30 PM The Celebration of Excellence is the signature social event of INS 2014! During this event, we’ll honor INS President Britt Meyer, MSN, RN, CRNI®, VA-BC, NE-BC, as well as the winners of the prestigious INS Member of the Year, INS Chapter President of the Year, and INCC’s CRNI® of the Year awards. Recipients of this year’s Gardner Founda-tion Scholarships and Grants will be recognized, and we’ll announce the winning Oral Abstract and ePoster presentations. The evening will feature cocktails, dinner, music, and dancing. Business/cocktail attire is suggested.

Resolve to never stop learning, because knowledge is power. By attending INS 2014, you’ll learn how and be empowered to advance the level of infusion care provided within your infusion practice, through improved patient outcomes, bet-ter patient education, reductions in infection rates, and fewer infusion-related complications.

• Learn from infusion therapy experts about topics such as The Cost of Peripheral IV Infections, Renal Dosing in High-Risk Populations, and Nurse Residency Programs: Incorporating Infusion Therapy Standards.

• All sessions presented address at least one of the eight core areas of infusion therapy (Antineoplastic/Biologic Therapy, Fluid & Electrolyte Balance, Infection Prevention, Parenteral Nutrition, Pharmacology, Special Populations, Technology & Clinical Applications, and Transfusion Therapy), allowing you to create your own personalized curriculum that best meets your educational needs.

• Gain in-depth knowledge through Track Sessions. From Substance Abuse to Technology and Caring for the Caregiver tracks, each series of sessions will provide you with a greater understanding of how these areas can impact your daily practice.

• Learn from your peers during Oral Abstract presentations. Hear about case studies and research being conducted by your infusion colleagues in health care facilities nationwide and how to implement their evidence-based practices into your infusion practice.

Phoenix. According to Greek mythology, the phoenix was a long-lived bird that was constantly regenerated or reborn. And so, you will find, is the city of Phoenix.

Much has changed since INS was last there, six years ago. You’ll find a revitalized downtown area with more restaurants, nightlife, and shopping than ever before. The addition of CityScape brings a new energy to the downtown area—with a Lucky Strike Bowling Alley, Stand Up Live comedy club, shops, and delectable dining options to suit any appetite—you’ll have plenty to enjoy each evening after the sessions end. Or, extend your stay, bring the family, and visit the Grand Canyon or Red Rocks and all that nature has to offer.

The city of Phoenix and INS are ready to welcome you to the Valley of the Sun.
