(CNS): Local nurses are being encouraged to sign up for next week’s National Nursing Conference as participants can earn up to twenty continuing education credits, HSA officials said this week. The conference will focus on sharing best practices in nursing, examining the relevance of nursing in healthcare delivery and reaffirming nursing’s value and contribution to healthcare. Topics include contemporary issues such as bullying in the workplace, nursing management and disaster preparedness. There will also be up-to-date clinical information on subjects ranging from pain management to dealing with autism spectrum disorders.

The conference opens on 9 May and is hosted by the Cayman Islands Nurses Association (CINA), but all healthcare professionals are encouraged to attend. Cost is $75 for the entire conference ($50 for CINA members) or $30 per day.
