Last month I blogged about budget cuts preventing nurses from attending conferences. However, that was before seeing signs improving conference enrollment.  Nursing2010 Symposium (Las Vegas, NV at the Hilton Las Vegas from April 6 to 9) is experiencing a significant surge in registration. Maybe the hotel room discounts are attracting larger numbers or employers are reconsidering the decision to cut education budgets. Whatever the reason, nurses are once again taking advantage of the opportunity to attend conferences. I'm glad to know that nurses can return to conferences in their specialties to renew their energy and continue to develop their skills.
