You'll earn 13 CME/CE/CASC credit hours in a highly interactive class format that makes learning fun and productive. After hours, you'll kick back and network with colleagues at special events. Sample free South Florida rum drinks and hear flamenco guitar in the exhibit hall on Wednesday and a enjoy a 4-hour sunset dinner cruise along the Inland Coastal Waterway on Thursday.

A few program highlights:

  • Foster healthy staff relationships and stop nurse-on-nurse hostility before it starts with advice from expert Kathleen Bartholomew, RC, RN, MN. Ms. Bartholomew is the author of Stressed Out, Ending Nurse to Nurse Hostility, and Speak Your Truth.

  • Find out how to be both efficient and safe in the OR from internationally known anesthesiologist and OR management expert Vinod Malhotra, MD. Dr. Malhotra is clinical director of the operating rooms at the gargantuan New York-Presbyterian Hospital.

  • Think Behind Close Doors columnist Paula Watkins, RN, is funny in print? Try to keep from laughing with your mouth full when she takes to the stage during Thursday's sit-down lunch.

  • Learn how to be happier and healthier from life balance strategist Mary LoVerde, RN, MS, author of 3 books and a frequent guest on the Oprah Winfrey show.
