Conference Abstract (from Admin track Student)

There is a significant benefit to nurse educators and nurse administrators in attending nursing conferences. Professional conferences are offered to assist people with learning from experts and learning from one another within a given community. Attending professional conferences as a participant provides nurse educators/administrators with networking and opportunities to learn new strategies and approaches for teaching and leading nurses. At some point in your career, you may have the opportunity to present at a professional conference. Some people are paid to present at conferences, such as keynote speakers or those providing workshops, but most commonly, people from the specific community the conference is aimed at will present through either a poster, podium, or panel. To be accepted to present at a conference, an abstract must be submitted. Each conference provides guidelines to potential presenters that outline the information that should be included in the abstract. Abstracts typically include an introduction to the presenter, the topic, keywords, a gap (substantiating why the presentation is needed), and abstract text that provides some background to the topic. Once submitted, conference abstracts are blindly reviewed (meaning the presenter’s identifying information is removed) by a panel of well-credentialed nurses from across the professional field. After review, the conference panel will contact abstract authors and let them know if they have been successful in their submissions. Types of conference presentations. There are a variety of presentation types at different conferences, including, but not limited to; Poster: you create a research poster, and you stand by it and present it as people wander by. Panel: you are on a panel of experts who are presenting various aspects of the same topic. Podium: you have a set amount of time to present your topic to a group of attendees ******Assignment: Writing A Conference Abstract******** Before starting this assignment, please be sure to read the weekly overview. Conference Description (a simulated conference for this course): The conference you are attending is on nursing leadership (admin students). The conference brings together attendees from many areas of your field. You plan on attending and presenting at this conference. Imagine you are already in your professional role. Your topic should focus on a program, strategy, or innovation you have completed with students, colleagues, or staff. Remember you are presenting to other professional colleagues (administrators or faculty/clinical educators) about this real or simulated session. Administration students: Examples: Using an app to enhance rapid colleague communication. What was the app, how was it used, what was the response, advantages or disadvantages? Instituting a particular approach to staffing issues. What particular approach was used? Was it developed in response to any specific issues? How was it beneficial to learners? There is no topic currently selected please select one for me******** Writing Your Conference Abstract Your abstract will be for a podium presentation. In this assignment, assume you have 45 minutes to present and must leave 10 minutes for questions. You should follow the guidelines for the submission of your abstract EXACTLY. In a real abstract submission, if the guidelines are not followed, your abstract will be omitted from review, and you’ll get an email saying you were not successful. That means you list each element of the conference abstract in order as detailed by the submission guidelines. For example, references may not be at the end of the submission. There are also word counts that must be adhered to. Assignment Instructions Review the abstract submission requirements from the week 5 classroom area. Using the abstract submission requirements, write your abstract covering each of the areas required for the conference. The format of your abstract should follow the guidelines EXACTLY. Do not add your own fields to the document or go over suggested limits (such as # of outcomes or word counts) Use the bolded headings from the guidelines (e.g. presentation title, lead presenter biography, measurable learning outcomes) as you write your abstract. grading rubric is attached.
