Your opportunity to connect and share research

Network with and learn from a diverse representation of nurses conducting research on topics that touch every part of nursing and healthcare: technology, practice, well-being, and community health, to name a few.

Congress brings together a dynamic and vibrant community of students, faculty, clinicians, and leaders who will inspire and motivate you no matter where you are in your nursing journey.

Explore this year’s theme with us, Representing Nursing Globally Through Dissemination of Research and Evidence, because nursing research matters and is vital to healthcare’s future.
