Barkley & Associates, Inc. is honored to invite you to participate in the 1st National Conference for Nurse Practitioners in Acute Care (NPAC). Join over 800 colleagues from throughout the country as we commemorate diversity with this first conference theme, “Spanning the Scope of Acute Care Practice!” On Thursday, April 6, 2017, the conference features two state-of-the art Pre-Conferences to benefit all practitioners working in acute care. These Pre-Conferences, 12-Lead EKG Workshop: From I’m not Always Sure to I’ve got It and Mechanical Ventilation Boot Camp: From the Top to Beyond the Basics, are anticipated to be filled to standing room only. Consider sharpening your skills by attending one or both! Full conference registration begins at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, and the main event commences at 5:00 p.m. Following opening remarks, the conference Keynote Address, given by Julie Stanik-Hutt, PhD, ACNP-BC, GNP-BC, CNNS, FAANP, FAAN, Director of the Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Program at the University of Iowa is sure to ignite the audience as she addresses, The Power of Nurse Practitioners in Acute Care! Immediately following, we will adjourn to what will be a remarkable Welcome Reception and Grand Opening of the Exhibit Hall. Start your first night in Miami by capitalizing on the countless networking opportunities, while enjoying hors d'oeuvres, “drinks”, and all that the exhibitors have to offer. A rich conference program, with literally something for everyone, continues all day Friday and Saturday. Packed with sessions presented by conference faculty with both national and international reputations, there will not be a session to miss. The conference speakers are all simply, “Second to none!” In addition, two peer-reviewed attendee poster sessions held on Friday and Saturday will feature the latest research and scholarly projects/activities in acute care. Late Saturday and Sunday morning, the conference focus shifts to include the latest Pharmacology Updates in Acute Care to maximize attendees’ pharmacology continuing education requirements. Finally on Sunday, the closing address Nurse Practitioners in Acute Care: Where We Started, How We’ve Grown, and Vital Stats to Carry Home! is sure to send everyone back to work on Monday with their chins held high in pride for all we have done and accomplished in acute care. While there, also remember to explore all that the cosmopolitan city of Miami and the surrounding area has to offer. The enriching Latin and Caribbean influences, cultural diversity, great cuisine, nonstop night life, and tropical weather come together to make Miami an exciting choice for this first conference. Take the time, come and learn, refresh, and enjoy. I look forward to seeing you on April 6-9, 2017 for what I know will be an amazing first of many future conferences to celebrate the success of all nurse practitioners and advanced practice nurses working in acute care!
