The Eleanor Mann School of Nursing is seeking abstracts for poster and podium presentations for its fourth annual Patton Nursing Science Day Symposium, which will be held on Thursday, April 30, at the Don Tyson Center for Agricultural Sciences.
Faculty and students from various health-related disciplines and health care professionals are invited to participate. Submissions include all research modalities that advance nursing and healthcare research, practice, education or policy.
The deadline is Jan. 30, and abstracts can be submitted here.
This year’s theme is “Nursing Discovery: Translating Evidence into Wellness.” The keynote speaker is Tim Cunningham, a practitioner who brings together nursing, leadership, scholarship and clowning to shape his engaging approach to care. Starting as an actor, he was drawn to emergency nursing through the power of laughter. With a doctorate in public health, he has worked as an author, professor and executive leader dedicated to creating healthier workplaces that support stronger patient care.
Nursing Science Day is a dynamic forum for advancing nursing research, scholarship and interdisciplinary collaboration. Hosted by the College of Education and Health Professions’ Eleanor Mann School of Nursing and the Sigma Theta Tau Honor Society, the annual event brings together experts and emerging scholars to spark dialogue, showcase research and advance innovation in healthcare. Attendees gain continuing education credit and professional development while exploring healthcare challenges in Arkansas.
Registration is free.
Susan Patton and her husband, Robert C. Patton, established the Patton Nursing Science Day Endowment this year to ensure the event’s continued growth and impact.
