First-Time Attendees Are Not Alone At NASN2015
Who do you turn to when you
have questions on the job? To be successful in your role, you need trusted
colleagues you can consult with and sources for reliable information.
If you attend the
NASN annual conference, you’ll meet other school nurses,
thought leaders, and vendors sharing tools and resources for your practice.
You’ll make connections with people who understand your experience and get
access to session handouts and other conference materials.
Approximately one quarter of attendees at an NASN annual conference are
first-time attendees. If you have never attended an NASN conference, you will
not be alone and you WILL feel at home.
The conference schedule has the right balance between structured
educational sessions
and casual gatherings. This gives attendees plenty of time to absorb new
information and then engage in peer-to-peer conversations. The First Timer
Orientation on June 23, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. is one of those casual gatherings
where NASN volunteers and staff meet with attendees to share conference tips and
answer questions. This is a great chance to make initial connections before the
first regular day of conference.
Attendees do not need to sign-up to attend the First Timer Orientation; it's
open to all.
The conference discussion list is another way for attendees to make connections.
It can be used before, during and after the conference and is the perfect way to
ask questions or to share thoughts such as the topics you hope to discuss at
NASN2015.
As you consider attending NASN2015, here are recordings from programming at
