Sharing the Journey:  Culture Changes Within Nursing

 

Sharing the Journey
Culture Changes Within Nursing  2006
Friday • Sept. 15, 2006
9:30 a.m.-4 p.m.

Program Overview

The challenges within today’s nursing culture are enormous, with new innovations supported by evidence-based practice ever present. By learning about the barriers, challenges and successes of others, conference participants can learn how to influence their own work environment during the change process. Participants also will learn how others have positively impacted nursing outcomes by changing the environment for patients and families. This conference will help Nurse Executives, Clinical Nurses, Nurse Educators, Clinical Nurse Specialists and student nurses gain a higher awareness of how they can manage, influence and impact the change process, the nursing environment and the nursing profession itself.

This conference provides opportunities to:
• Recognize the impact of individuality in our patients and ourselves.
• Learn from nurses who have implemented change in their work environment.
• Identify the importance of reflective practice in practice innovations.
• Identify key stages of implementing change. 
• Identify the importance of patients’ experience when implementing change.
