The Eleanor Mann School of Nursing will host an inaugural Nursing Science Day on Thursday, April 27, from noon to 6 p.m. in the Arkansas Union Ballroom.
A poster session and symposium will be framed by the theme "Optimizing and transforming health and healthcare delivery outcomes through nursing discovery, research and scholarship."
Nursing faculty, students and the school's clinical practice partners will present posters. Faculty, staff and students from disciplines other than nursing are encouraged to apply and share their research. For example, biomedical engineering students use the nursing school's simulation labs as part of their coursework, and several of those students will present their work at this event. John Brown University students are also invited to attend and present their research abstracts. Healthcare professionals are also encouraged to participate. Abstract submissions are due by April 7. Registration is free.
The symposium will also feature nationally and internationally known nurse scientist speakers. They will present research topics applied within the Translational Science spectrum. The keynote speaker is Elizabeth Tarlov, Ph.D., R.N., director of the National Institute of Nursing Research's Division of Extramural Science Programs at the National Institutes of Health.
Other speakers include Anne Sales, Ph.D., R.N., a professor in the Sinclair School of Nursing and the Department of Family and Community Medicine in the School of Medicine at the University of Missouri (Columbia), and Monica Wagner, Ph.D., R.N., an assistant professor in the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland.
Jessie Casida, Ph.D., R.N., APN-C, FAAN, executive director of the Eleanor Mann School of Nursing, will also present research at the event.
Nursing continuing professional development contact hours are offered for attending the symposium. Please review the details from the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Variable contact hours are being offered for poster presentation. Visit the symposium page for additional details.
The event is funded by the College of Education and Health Professions WE CARE initiative. WE CARE, an acronym for Wellness and Education Commitment to Arkansas Excellence, focuses on three priorities that revolve around tangible ways faculty and staff can collaborate within the college and across the state to address complex challenges in education and health.
