Hosted by Fletcher Allen and building on the success of its first year, the Symposium will showcase and highlight projects covering: Nursing Research, Evidence-Based Practice, and Quality Improvement. Join us! FREE Poster Session & Reception Friday, November 5 5:00-6:30pm
Welcome The 2 nd Annual Nursing Research and Evidence-Based Practice Symposium is the continuation of a collaboration of several people s interest in providing a forum for nurses to learn more about the evolving realm of nursing knowledge. Historically, secular nursing knowledge began with Florence Nightingale s collection and analysis of scientific data to identify the best treatment modalities for patients in addition to her emphasis on the unique role of the nurse. Currently, nursing knowledge can be generated through a variety of scientific methods. Nursing Research utilizes quantitative and/or qualitative methods to test hypotheses, describe nursing phenomenon, and identify new nursing modalities. Evidence- Based Practice projects investigate current nursing actions and customs to validate their effectiveness. Quality Improvement projects are typically institutional processes that examine the current state of practice (for example, fall prevention) and identify barriers and facilitators to achieving stated quality goals. On behalf of the Planning Committee, I invite you to join us for the upcoming 2 nd Annual Nursing Research and Evidence-Based Practice Research Symposium. The Symposium will, once again, provide participants opportunity to reflect on the contributions of our nurse colleagues who have passed away. There will be a slide presentation to honor those nurses who are no longer with us. Please consider submitting a picture and a statement about a nurse you would like to honor when you register for the event. (Click here to view last year s slide show) The registration form will provide details on how to submit. Please join us Friday and Saturday, November 5 th and 6 th for this wonderful opportunity to celebrate, collaborate, and honor the profession of nursing and our contributions.
