Reasons You Should Be Sent to the ANCC National Magnet ConferenceTM
A time- and cost-efficient way to get continuing education. Attendees can earn up to 18 continuing nursing education (CNE) hours. You can get an additional 3.5 CNE contact hours by attending the leadership pre-conference, or 5 CNE contact hours by attending the ANCC Research Symposium.
The power of retention. Hospital facilities that elect to send the staff to the Magnet Conference show an real investment in their human capital—their nurses! Attendance at the National Magnet Conference allows nurses to return to work inspired and invigorated, able to implement practice strategies immediately.
Flattening the learning curve. Hearing how your colleagues around the country dealt with the same problems you face will help you tackle these issues in new ways—in a timelier, efficient manner.
Quality saves money. One of the foundations of Magnet status is professional development, which improves patient care and safety and helps nurses learn best practices.
Efficiencies based in knowledge. Whether learning clinical practice techniques or tips to create cost-effective programs, the Magnet Conference has concurrent sessions to improve the workings of your facility.
