Back by Popular Demand!
Orthopedic Nursing Conference
October 20, 2012
In its third consecutive year, the Orthopedic
Nursing Conference continues to be a popular
demand among nurses at the Baptist. Repeated
comments have always been: “Great speakers!”,
“Informative topics!”, “Looking forward to the
next one!”
Our speakers are no other than our own clinicians
and we are most grateful for their continued
willingness to share their expertise to our staff.
Several of our expert lecturers commented: “Glad
to be a part of this wonderful conference!”
The Program Planning Committee is pleased to
offer this conference again this Fall.
