Pioneers. Innovators. Nurses. Friday, April 5th , 2024 | 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM Gundersen Health System – Legacy Conference Hall, La Crosse, Wisconsin A community event to celebrate and recognize “Excellence in Nursing” JOINTLY PROVIDED BY: Gundersen Health System Gundersen Medical Foundation Mayo Clinic Health System Sigma – Pi Phi Chapter Western Technical College Foundation Viterbo University
NURSING RESEARCH ON THE GREEN is an event that recognizes and celebrates nursing scholarship, research, and innovation in the tri-state area. We strive to provide enriching opportunities for the regional nursing community that are educational and inspirational. This is accomplished through the sharing of knowledge, both new and old, that moves us toward a vision of nursing that encapsulates the tradition of days passed and the hope of what could be. As we see the healthcare landscape shifting around us, it becomes clearer by the day that nursing will be an integral part of establishing the processes, approaches, and policies that will position us to meet the challenges and needs of tomorrow. NROTG aims to be a part of that work. As such, we are proud to share that our theme for this, our 23rd year, is: Pioneers. Innovators. Nurses. Thank you for joining us. We hope you have a wonderful and meaningful learning experience with us! 1 MORE INFORMATION Visit www.nrotg.org
