Dear Members:
The Organization for Associate Degree Nursing (OADN) invites students to submit abstracts for the OADN annual convention, with a monetary award presented to the top three submissions, sponsored by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN).
The convention theme this year, “Owning Your Influence,” focuses on the profound impact each nurse has on nursing innovation, leadership, professional development, health equity, quality care, advocacy, and the future nursing workforce. This extends to nursing students, as well, who are navigating dynamic practice environments to ensure that patients continue to receive high-quality, safe nursing care. Like faculty, nursing students are also leaders in their communities, and it is vitally important that they embrace this role.
Each year OADN invites students from across the nation to present their original poster abstracts at the annual OADN Convention. Poster presentations provide students with the opportunity present original research, hone their evidence-based practice competencies, and develop 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.
Topics may include:
