Year of the Maryland Nurse: Celebrating Nurse Superheroes

To support this year’s convention theme, the Maryland Nurses Association is seeking submissions that provide data promoting forward thinking nursing and position nurses to be on the leading edge of healthcare change.

 

Educational objectives for the convention are:

  1. Discuss current nursing education and professional development practice
  2. Describe leadership applications for various nursing practice areas
  3. Compare innovative quality and research improvements across the nursing spectrum

Abstracts will be reviewed and selected through a blind peer-review process.

Presentation Types

  1.  Concurrent - Presenters will be asked to submit a 50-minute pre-recorded presentation. There will be 10 minutes for Live Q & A following presentation, so presenters will need to be present
  2. Spotlight - Presenters are encouraged to submit their abstracts to be considered for a Spotlight Session. Spotlight presenters will be asked to submit a 20-minute pre-recorded presentation (limit to 10 slides). There will be 3 “Spotlight” presentations in a one-hour block focusing on a similar topic. There will not be a Q&A for spotlight presentations.

If your abstract is accepted, you must                            record  a 3-minute presentation of your poster, as well as attend the MNA Virtual Convention and be                    present throughout the poster session.
