This conference is sponsored by Wolters Kluwer Health/Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, and is part of the platform of the award-winning journal, Nursing Management. Each year, our conference committee works diligently to surpass the quality, content, and expectations of the previous meeting. Our 2009 conference is no exception – not only have we increased the number of concurrent sessions, but our exhibits, educational content, and poster presentations are more lively and cutting-edge than ever before. Upon reviewing this program, I think you'll agree that this year's R&R Conference is one of the most informative programs available to those involved in engaging and preserving healthcare staff.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this conference, you'll be able to:
- Identify rationales for developing a recruitment and retention program in your healthcare delivery system.
- Discuss retention strategies and models that promote a personally fulfilling workplace environment and quality patient care.
- Discuss short-term and long-term strategies for recruiting nursing personnel.
We also encourage you to share your research findings and wound management tips, tricks, techniques and expertise as a presenter in our poster session. Display details of your clinical innovations and give colleagues information they can take home and apply in their work settings. Poster guidelines can be downloaded from this page (see column on right).
