New York hosts the 2018 NANNNA conference

I have had an existing relationship with NANNNA through the years and really thrilled about their phenomenal growth. With their renewed strategy and focus on thought leadership, NANNNA at its 9th annual conference has demonstrated its commitment to ensuring the highest level of patient care.

Conference attendees also benefit from Continuing Education Units provided by Axxess, an accredited provider of continuing nursing education by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s (ANCC) Commission on Accreditation.
