The Saskatchewan Registered Nurses Association's Annual General Meeting and Conference is to be held in Regina May 5 & 6th. The theme is, "Advancing RN Practice - Where to from here".
I have been accepted to do a poster presentation around the subject, "Advancing Nursing Practice through Nurse Authorship". I am excited to share the research I have done about nurses who have made a difference in government, health professional and health consumer knowledge by taking pen in hand.
This presentation also gives me the opportunity to share what I believe are the next steps in helping the nursing profession move forward as a more dynamic and powerful profession. Even though we have come a long way since Florence Nightingale, and others like her, in proving that nursing is a viable and strong profession in it's own right, I feel we are presently at a stagnant point. It is time to move away from our current "comfort zone" to step up and out to become more visible in the eyes of the world.
