CALL FOR STUDENT POSTERS

Deadline: October 9, 2024

In celebration of OADN’s 40th Anniversary, the Organization for Associate Degree Nursing (OADN) invites Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) students to submit poster abstracts for the OADN Annual Convention, October 31 – November 2, 2024, at the Marriott Water Street in Tampa, Florida.

 

Theme: Bridging the Past to Build the Future

OADN’s 40th Anniversary Convention theme recognizes the historic role of the associate degree pathway in our nation’s healthcare workforce and patients in every community. Nursing students have unique perspectives, spotlighting key areas that ADN programs are now addressing to better prepare new graduate nurses and build for a brighter future.

Poster presentations provide students with the opportunity to present original research, hone their evidence-based practice competencies, and develop their skills as public speakers. Top consideration will be given to poster abstracts that present well-designed research or demonstration projects, particularly those that are evidence-based and include data.

Poster Topics may include:

• Identifying existing barriers and proposing strategies to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in nursing education
• Quality and safety interventions to improve patient outcomes
• Fostering healthy working environments and nurse well-being
• Identifying innovative approaches to clinical learning experiences
• Simulation and virtual simulation
• Discussing strategies to build inclusive learning communities
• Developing clinical judgment
• Transition to practice initiatives
• Expanding access to education through creative academic progression and other strategies
• Promoting strategies to generate and support the development of nurses as leaders
• Leveraging the social mission of nursing education to achieve learning outcomes and advance health equity

 

OADN is pleased to acknowledge the generous support from Post University for sponsoring the student poster awards. Thanks to their generous support, the top three student posters will be awarded:

• First Prize: $750
• Second Prize: $500
• Third Prize: $250
