Providing effective education for nurses in the current healthcare climate can be challenging. Nursing professional development is a dynamic field which must respond to the ever changing education needs of nurses throughout their career. High-quality professional development opportunities promote quality patient care and provide nurses with the knowledge and skills that they need to be successful and confident in their work.
This one-day conference is directed toward novice and experienced nursing professional development specialists, nurse planners, clinical educators, orientation coordinators, preceptors, and nurses interested in education and professional development. It provides an opportunity to enhance your ability to transition new nurses to practice, design effective orientation programs, engage learners, and measure outcomes.
Don’t miss the keynote – Donna Wright, MS, RN – who will speak on competency and accountability of staff and educators!

Keynote
The glaring racial disparities and impact on the social determinants of health unearthed by the COVID-19 pandemic support the development of anti-racist research approaches to address these issues. The persistent presence of healthcare disparities in our nation, our racist past, and the lack of diversity in the nursing profession are increasingly evident. Dr. Fields’ presentation will address these issues and the need to improve recruitment of diverse and inclusive human subject samples in research studies.
Dr. Fields is Research Professor and Associate Dean for Equity and Inclusion at the Penn State College of Nursing. He is a well-known and respected HIV/AIDS prevention research scientist with a focus on young men of color. He is a lifetime member of the National Black Nurses Association, Inc. He is also founder and CEO of “The S.D.F Group, LLC”, which is a health innovation consultant company. He has 29 years of experience in the health sector as an educator, researcher, clinician, administrator, consultant, health policy specialist, and entrepreneur/business owner.
