Call for Student Abstracts
OADN proudly invites pre-licensure RN students to submit poster abstracts for the 2025 OADN Annual Convention, taking place November 20th to 22nd at the Renaissance Nashville Hotel in the heart of Music City.
We are also excited to announce a total of $3,000 in awards ($1,500 for students and $1,500 for faculty) for the best poster presentations at the 2025 OADN Convention. Poster presentations and judging will occur during the Convention with winners revealed over the weekend.
The two sponsors of this year’s prizes are Trajecsys and Post University’s American Sentinel College of Nursing & Health Sciences. Post University is the proud sponsor of the 2025 Student Poster Awards. The American Sentinel College of Nursing & Health Sciences at Post University offers a wide range of degree programs, including RN-BSN, RN-BSN/MSN, MSN, MSN-NP, DNP, and MBA in Healthcare. Trajecsys, a leading provider of centralized clinical recordkeeping solutions for Associate Degree Nursing programs, continues its support of OADN and the OADN Foundation in 2025 and is proudly sponsoring the 2025 Faculty Poster Awards.
The top three posters in both faculty and student categories will receive the following awards:
- First Prize: $750
- Second Prize: $500
- Third Prize: $250
Poster presentations offer students a chance to showcase original research, refine their evidence-based practice skills, and develop their public speaking abilities. Special consideration will be given to poster abstracts featuring well-designed, evidence-based research or demonstration projects supported by data.
All students interested in presenting at the convention should keep these key requirements in mind:
- Abstracts that feature evidence-based practices, innovative projects, or data-driven outcomes are highly encouraged
- A maximum of four (4) presenters may be listed per abstract. The primary presenter will be the main contact and responsible for coordinating with co-presenters and OADN staff.
- All presenters must disclose any potential conflicts of interest and affirm that the presentation content will not promote specific commercial products or services.
- All student presenters must register at a discount student registration rate of $175. Registration fees, travel, lodging, and other expenses are the responsibility of presenters.
The student poster abstract submission portal is open here. Please review the requirements carefully. Any questions may be directed to oadn@oadn.org.
