The nursing workforce is often viewed through isolated challenges such as recruitment, turnover, vacancies, and educational capacity. Sustaining the profession, however, requires a broader perspective — one that recognizes nursing as a career continuum and the shared responsibility of health care organizations, academic institutions, policymakers, and leaders to support nurses from workforce entry through career advancement and leadership.
This year's symposium will explore strategies that strengthen career longevity by examining how nurses are recruited, retained, developed, and advanced throughout their careers. Through plenary and breakout sessions, participants will explore emerging trends, innovative practices, and collaborative approaches that strengthen the nursing workforce across the career continuum.
Nurses may receive 4.5 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.
The University of Maryland School of Nursing is accredited as a provider of nursing continuing professional development by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation.
