for Research Abstracts for Poster Presentation
Greetings! The Kentucky Nurses
Association’s Education and Research Cabinet is sponsoring a poster session
at the annual KNA Convention. The
Cabinet cordially invites all faculty, students, and nurses in practice who
have conducted research, utilized research findings in practice, and/or
developed creative educational training models to share the findings and
results. This is a wonderful
opportunity to highlight the great things occurring in nursing in a very
collegial atmosphere. This event
may create the spark that ignites the flame of passion in a burgeoning future
nurse researcher to find one’s niche in the profession, and gives meaning to
the words “evidenced based practice” for all.
We
are seeking a broad array of research and educational projects.
These could include: research
in progress, completed research, hospital or community based studies, teaching
strategies that have been analyzed using evaluative research, graduate student
research projects, and innovation in practice settings.
Hospitals, clinics and outpatient settings provide the backdrop for
great things to occur as well; hospitals currently deemed Magnet status or
aspiring to that level of quality will want to share ideas in service to the
profession and community. Poster
presentations can take the form of tabletop displays or power point displays.
All participants will be awarded a Certificate.
There is a $50 registration
fee which covers daylong CE Program, 5.4 contact hours, breaks, lunch,
Instruction, Handout Materials, Research Poster Session/CE Credit with Wine
and Cheese Reception, Poster Presenter KNA Commendation Certificate.
This is a 55% discount from the $110 rate.
The student rate of $25 will apply.
Participants must register by August 15, 2008.
The KNA Convention will be held on October
16-17, 2008 at the Marriot East in Louisville.
The Poster Session will be held on
Thursday, October 16, from 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. as a continuing
education (with wine and cheese) session.
