Ramkota Hotel

The Wyoming Nursing Summit and Convention will be held September 22-23, 2016 at the Ramkota in Casper. This conference is brought to you by WNA and the Wyoming Center For Nursing and Health Care Partnerships.

This year’s leadership conference follows the theme set by the endorsements that the American Nurses Association (ANA) established with the Nurses on Boards Coalition to increase enrollment to 10,000 nurses on boards by 2020. During this conference we will demonstrate the impact a nurse can have by being on a board, especially where health care/access to care is an issue. In order to fully demonstrate how a nurse can be a change agent for health care, we chose one of our profound health issues, mental health/suicide prevention. Pamela Cipriano, ANA President, recently said “There is no health without good mental health.”

Wyoming has the second highest suicide rate in the country. The population growing in this epidemic is our youth and adolescent. How can a nurse intervene? Whether it is through providing direct patient care or by sitting at the table where health care decisions are made, all nurses are patient advocates.

Attendees will receive a maximum of 9.25 contact hours for attending this conference.
