OMG! Still amazed at Thursday night’s conference outcome. We had a little over 30 in attendance for an unforgettable evening. Several speakers took a moment to honor the first responders, ER and ICU teams in Las Vegas. We gave a shout out to our partners Donor West and Sierra Eye and Tissue. We thank our co-hosts REMSA and Care Flight for their support and for letting us play in the CCT! Who knew you could load and unload up to 700 pounds of patient and equipment with 1 finger? We recognized Colleen for her several years as Event Coordinator Extraordinaire with a limited edition framed Guided by Why AACN themed artwork piece. The butternut squash soup and carrot cake cookies were favorites as well as the kitchen itself. Like any good party, it was difficult to get everyone out of there any over to the conference room on time.
Thanks to the great ladies manning the check in desk: Insel, Kimmy, Gay, Val, and Kimrbili. Thank you to all the incredible nurses who spoke for us: Shawn Sullivan, Insel Angus, Mel Nutter, Merle Ocampo, Kay Sedlak, Molly Davission, Rochelle Nielson, Gail Adler. (I was the intro speaker, but weird to thank myself.) People thought we were crazy, said no one would come listen to nurses, thought we couldn’t get 9 talks done in 3 hours. But we proved them wrong! The talks were intriguing and we had several pee your pants funny moments. Who knew there were medical uses for vibrators? If you missed it, you missed out. But not to worry. Everyone soundly insisted we do it again next year. So we will!
Meanwhile, there are plenty of opportunities we are promoting or sponsoring left before the year ends. Watch the announcement page for information on:
