We are excited to invite you to join us IN-PERSON for a thought-provoking conference challenging our past and present as we discuss the future of nursing in a changing healthcare landscape and the necessity to increase diversity in the nursing workforce.
The 14th Annual Wisconsin Center for Nursing Conference will bring together nurses and other healthcare professionals from around the state to explore emerging topics impacting nursing education, practice, and research through an equity lens.
