Why it is important for a nurse to Attend a Nursing Conference?
- Networking – participating in nursing conferences would give a nurse to meet, interact and
make contacts with experts and other health professionals in their respective field. Many times
a nurse will get a chance to interact with educators, researchers and clinicians who are
recognized as an expert in their respective field. As a result, nurses would have a real time
opportunity to entertain their queries and concerns with the experts. Furthermore, nurses
would develop network with other nurses and other experts around the country.
- Continuing Education and skill development – nursing conferences offer a chance for you
to learn about several educational advancements in one place. Presentations are designed to
introduce you to new technologies, train you to use new equipment, or provide you with the
opportunity to attend break-out sessions where you learn about the latest advances in your
specialty area. Consider nursing conferences to be a one-stop opportunity to get up-to-date
with the latest technologies and practices.
- Career advancement – keeping up with new advances in the profession will help you to
advance your career and potentially allow you to earn more money. Employers like to see that
you are committed to your job and attending conferences is one way you can show your
employer that you are lifelong learner. Some conferences provide you with special training
sessions for new equipment or technologies that will benefit the patients and unit where you
work. Take advantages of these opportunities by volunteering to be the lead trainer for new
technology on the unit where you work. The new skills you can obtain may help train other
staff members in your unit, receive a job promotion, or expose you to new business
opportunities.
- Advancement of the profession – when more nurses recognize the importance of continuing
their skills through additional training and continuing education opportunities then nursing
will continue to be recognized as a solid, scientific profession. A profession is a body of
individuals who have received formal ducation/training to provide a competent service for
individuals, groups, or communities. For nursing to remain a respected profession, nurses will
need to demonstrate their commitment to the profession through career advancement and
additional training. Attending nursing conferences is one way for you to show those you serve
that you are sincerely devoted to the profession.
