ABSTRACT
We listened to your feedback and are excited to share several improvements to the 2012 NANN conference.NANN's 28th Annual Educational Conference planners have increased your time with the poster presenters, provided 3.5 more continuing nursing education contact hours, and changed the format of the in-depth symposiums. In lieu of in-depth sessions, NANN will offer 2-hour interprofessional sessions. Tentatively, these will spotlight the "Golden Hour," "Necrotizing Enterocolitis," "Feeding," "Genetics and Ethics," and "Family-Centered Care." Each session will include up to 3 different professionals explaining how they handle and work in each situation. For example, these panels might consist of a staff or advanced practice neonatal nurse, social worker, physical therapist, and/or physician.Visit http://www.NANNconference.org for more information about the meeting.NANN recognizes the importance of developmental care to optimal patient care.
