NURSING EDUCATION (NED) TALKS
In our take on TED Talks, these on-stage presentations offer a dynamic platform for nurse educators to deliver a brief, 10-minute narrative showcasing their experience with innovative teaching strategies or technologies in practice. Each presentation is followed by a 5-minute question-and-answer session, creating an engaging and interactive experience.
Poster Presentations
Highlight your innovative teaching strategies, technologies, or evidence-based practices in nursing education through a scholarly poster presentation. This interactive session allows attendees to explore a variety of topics, while providing opportunities for one-on-one conversations with presenters, fostering meaningful networking and collaboration.
Submission Guidelines
Prepare a brief, 150 - 350-word abstract for a NED Talk or poster presentation that shares (describes) an innovative example, experience, or idea that inspires colleagues to apply new teaching strategies and technologies that prepare nurses to work in diverse environments.
