Conference Highlights

"Our shared commitment to patients and families inspires us and gives us strength." - D. Hanson, AACN President

If you care for acutely or critically ill patients, you'll definitely want to be a part of AACN's 2008 National Teaching Institute & Critical Care Exposition-a time to learn, to rejuvenate, even a time to kick back and relax. NTI is more than an educational conference. It's an experience, an encounter that only you and your colleagues from across the country can truly understand and appreciate. Through sharing and comparing, you'll come away with new ideas and a fresh perspective. And this year, it all takes place in one of the world's most exciting cities-Chicago! Whether you're at the bedside or in a leadership role, you'll find plenty to fill your professional and emotional reservoir at NTI 2008. The learning spectrum is vast and up-to-date.

  • Sessions on fostering and sustaining healthy work environments continue to be popular, with the growing awareness of their impact on patient safety, and staff recruitment and retention
  • A session on traumatic brain injury (TBI), a battle-induced phenomenon that the healthcare community has been ill-prepared to recognize or handle
  • Advanced practice nurses will have access to the specialized content that drives their work, including pharmacology CE content and the Clinical Simulation Lab (open to all registrants)
  • You'll find abundant information on medical technology and resources, professional services and recruitment needs at the Critical Care Exposition.

Without question, Cosby is one of the most influential Americans of our time, a national treasure whose insights provide a refreshing awareness and understanding of life.
