I attended a nursing conference today sponsored by the Southern Ohio and Northern Kentucky chapter of STTI. The conference, The P's and Q's of Writing for Promotion, Publication, Presentation and Portfolio was well attended with almost 100 attendees at the Sharonville Convention Center.
I especially enjoyed the afternoon breakout sessions on Competency and the Professional Nursing Portfolio and Designing a Professional Poster Presentation.
I don't normally leave nursing conferences feeling refreshed and excited. I found the material very much applicable to my legal practice. The sessions I attended were as follows:
Disseminating your Evidence: How to Get Published. The keynote speaker was Marilyn Oermann, PhD, RN, FAAN.
Strategies for your Publication: View from an Editor, Reviewer, and Authors. This was a panel presentation.
Designing a Professional Nursing Portfolio
Professional Portfolio: Providing Evidence of Competence
I do a far amount of writing and publication; well, not as much as I used to, but its adequate. I also speak frequently on legal issues in nursing and submit abstracts for national, regional, and local poster presentations. Professional portfolios are hot and I have some ideas here that will be launched on my website in the near future.
