APNA is seeking abstract proposals for both podium and poster presentations that address all levels of psychiatric-mental health nursing administration, education, practice, and research. The APNA 36th Annual Conference will deliver hundreds of evidence-based presentations to 1800+ registered and advanced practice nurses. Nurses from varied backgrounds are encouraged to share their initiatives, practice innovations, clinical expertise, and more by submitting an abstract online by March 7 at 11:59 pm Eastern.
The conference theme highlights Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses Activating Our Voices: Who We Are, What We Do, What We Need, reminding nurses to be vocal about their ability to support mental health and shape policies crucial to providing care. APNA President Leslie Oleck, MSN, PMHNP-BC, PMHCNS-BC, LMFT, says, “As nurses we need to inform ourselves, the healthcare community, and the public about the capabilities of psychiatric-mental health nurses, which will elevate our profession and strengthen our practice. The need has never been greater. I invite my colleagues to seize this open call for abstracts as an opportunity give voice to their accomplishments, creative solutions and science-based approaches. I look forward to seeing what you will submit.”
