ANA- Illinois 2018 Call for Poster Presenters - Professional Issues Conference | November 3rd, 2018 |
Abstract Submission Form
ANA has named 2018 the Year of the Advocate.
Advocacy means using one's position to support, protect, or speak out for the rights and interests of another.
Nurses have long claimed patient advocacy as fundamental to their practice, however, advocacy beyond the bedside is often misunderstood.
In keeping with this theme, the ANA-Illinois Program Committee is seeking the best session ideas that represent Nurse Advocacy for the 2018 Professional Issues Conference.
We are looking to create a learning experience that engages, challenges, and empowers nurses.
Please submit your topic ideas/ proposals that represent:
-Self Advocacy
-Patient Advocacy
-Advocacy for the Profession
-Self Advocacy
-Patient Advocacy
-Advocacy for the Profession
After attending this program, we wish the participants to be able to describe various ways nurses can serve as advocates, and to see how their own passion and pursuits of the profession can be the best form of advocacy.
Please submit your session ideas by Friday, September 7th, 2018.
