2014 Nursing Summit Agenda!
What a terrific day this promises to be! The Planning Committee has been hard at work packing a host of fabulous features in to the day of September 10! And two Schools of Nursing have stepped up to sponsor the Summit – University of Las Vegas, Nevada, and Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing! If it is at all possible, join us!
Goal and Learning Objectives:
The goal of the GLMA Nursing Summit is to bring together LGBT and ally nurses and nurse supporters to develop an action plan to improve critical LGBT issues in the nursing profession.
Learning Objectives
- Describe major recent accomplishments in nursing related to LGBT health.
- Report, evaluate, and build on progress toward a GLMA-sponsored action plan for LGBT health in nursing relating to: education and curricula, patient/clinical care, policy, research, and climate (including homophobia in the profession).
- Provide a forum of opportunities for mentorship, support, and networking for nurses and nursing students in the areas of research, academia, policy, and patient care.
- Assign leadership for fulfilling the goals of the action plan.
- Identify key areas for focus in strengthening nursing participation in GLMA.
Here is the final agenda for this very important day! (Of course we all know the difference between well-laid plans and reality, right!) You can also download the agenda here.
