Healthcare professionals in every field and from all over the world gather at medical conferences. You can meet with speakers, panelists, and fellow attendees to share your ideas, learn from the best in the field, and make connections.
When you study, train, and work in the same community for years, it can start to feel a little routine. Breakthroughs and new developments in medicine and healthcare are happening every day. Nursing conferences expose you to different ways of thinking, as well as the latest innovations and developments in the field.
As you know, continuing education units (CEUs) are required to maintain your license. CEUs require that you are up to date with modern healthcare practices. Most conferences can provide up to 30 or more units, potentially enough to complete your CEU requirement for the year.
There are many ways in which attending a nursing conference can be a stepping stone for your career. First, you can network with future colleagues and learn about new work opportunities at the conference. Second, conferences can provide opportunities for certification, which can help you gain an advantage when applying for higher positions. Third, attending conferences will make you aware of the academic programs your peers are taking - like Laboure's RN to BSN program, for example.
Many nurses have some specialty training, certification. Continuing education and training may be necessary to take on high-level positions, but it can also be incredibly meaningful and eye-opening to learn about another area of nursing. After all, you may learn something that you can apply immediately in your current position. . It may also inspire you to broaden your horizons further and explore a new career path!
Conferences provide the perfect opportunity to update your knowledge, widen your network, and grow both personally and professionally.
By taking advantage of just one, two, maybe a handful of the literally hundreds of nursing conferences around the world, you can take your career to the next level. If you’re looking for options outside of conferences, consider taking a certification program or additional degree at a local college or university.
At Labouré College, we offer a variety of online and on-campus programs for RNs to earn a BSN, for other healthcare professionals to become an RN, or for any healthcare professional to specialize in fields like neurodiagnostics, radiation therapy, and more.
