Nursing at the Crossroads: Charting Our Future 
 
"Nursing at the Crossroads" Conference
"Talking with so many nurses at the conference about the big nursing issues was very exciting, empowering, liberating, and insightful to me as a professional nurse."
- Edith Asidao, RN Sts. Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center
 
That was the feeling nurses came out with after the RN2RN Network conference, titled "Nursing at the Crossroads: Charting Our Future," was held February 23rd.  The conference focused on some of the most important issues facing the nursing profession.
 
A few of the highlights of the conference included:
 
  • Suzanne Gordon, our featured speaker, was snowed-in in Boston but joined us through videoconference and gave some hints on topics that will be covered in her upcoming book, Safety in Numbers, scheduled to come out in April- including remarkable gains improved staffing made by nurses in Australia.  

  • Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky provided details of her federal legislation setting nurse-to-patient ratios. 

  • Nurses debated, discussed and analyzed various hot topics in workshops on California's staffing ratios, challenges of the physician nurse communications, Magnet recognition and more.
