The rapid expansion of knowledge in the care of the critical
care patient continues to challenge all nurses in their efforts to
keep up-to-date and to provide quality care. This two-day

management of patients with specific critical care illnesses.
CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES
• Disseminate the latest concepts in critical care nursing.
• Identify opportunities for nurses to increase their
knowledge in special interest areas.
