Please make plans to join us in New Orleans, May 16-21, 2009 for the 36th annual National Teaching Institute & Critical Care Exposition^® - the one educational conference you'll want to attend next year!

NTI is the world's largest educational conference and exposition focused on acute and critical care nurses. NTI is appropriate for bedside nurses, nurse educators, nurse managers, clinical nurse specialists and nurse practitioners who care for patients who are acutely or critically ill. NTI provides comprehensive, all-encompassing resources to maximize your contribution to caring and improving the healthcare of these patients and their families. Take advantage of this great opportunity to network with your peers while earning CE credits from a diverse selection of educational presentations. You will even be able to take review courses and sit for exams for your specialty (CCNS, CCRN, PCCN, ACNPC) or subspecialty (CMC, CSC) certifications. It's all here at NTI!

NTI 2009 housing will open in October 2008. Be sure to book early; after March 31, 2009, reservations are subject to availability.

Registration for NTI 2009 will open in January
