Overview
The Maryland Nursing Workforce Symposium brings together nursing professionals, educators, policymakers, and health care leaders to explore opportunities and strategies for strengthening the Maryland nursing workforce. This year’s theme, “Data Trends and Future Readiness,” underscores the critical role of data-driven decision-making in shaping a resilient and sustainable nursing workforce.
As the health care landscape evolves, nursing leaders must be equipped to address growing challenges such as faculty shortages, nurse retention, and the integration of emerging health care technologies. Through presentations, discussions, and interactive sessions, this symposium will provide attendees with actionable strategies to strengthen nursing education, enhance workforce stability, and drive meaningful change in health care policy.
Nurses may receive 4.75 contact hours for attending the entire educational activity and completing the evaluation. Partial credit is not provided. Participants paying for CE will receive a certificate via email within 2 - 4 weeks. All requests must be received within 30 days of the event.
