2013 AWHONN CONVENTION

Nurses from around the globe will be heading to Nashville for the 2013 AWHONN Convention which is developed by and for nurses who specialize in caring for women and newborns. Join us in Nashville to tackle the issues and challenges that keep us up at night, the moments of joy that keep us going, and the determination we share to improve ourselves, our profession and the lives of our patients.

"I attended the convention because as a nurse manager it's important to learn new things and to stay current. I also want to continue my education."

Tiffany Coles, MSN, FNP, RN - Columbus, OH

"We don't know everything and we can definitely learn from others on what they're doing in their facility, so this is why I come back."

Ginette Damus, RNC - North Las Vegas, NV

"At convention, I learned about partnerships...we need to learn to collaborate when it comes to patient care."

Maj Glenda Whitfield, RNC - Mountain Home AFB, ID

"I enjoy the presentations, research, innovative programs, the opportunity to ask questions...and I get some ideas that I take back and get to implement."

Marianne Allen, MN, BSN, RNC, CNS - Enola, PA

"I've enjoyed the networking opportunities with other members...valuable information that I plan to take back to share with staff."
