Prepare yourself by finishing the following sentence: "If my colleagues get only one thing out of my poster, I want to be sure that that one thing is _______________________________________________."
This is your Main Mesage. Keep it central in your mind and the periferals will come into clearer focus.
And, enjoy your day in the sun. You have achieved something admirable. Be sure to cellebrate it!

I'm home from the conference. I was the ONLY staff nurse there. 900 bigwigs and me!
However, many, many conference attendees viewed my poster and I was able to speak 1:1 with dozens of them. Gave out a ton of business cards, and had several inquiries as to whether I would come to other hospitals and speak about my research!
AND I got to stay at the Chicago Hilton (look for some pics on google images- it's elegant beyond comprehension) including a business dinner in the Grand Ballroom. They were filming a movie in the hotel while I was there, and my room had a view of Lake Michigan.
All in all, an awesome week! Thanks to all of you- I felt totally prepared!
Congrats!!! I'm glad it went do well for you. Hopefully this opens a lot of doors for you.

You might not be a staff nurse for long ....

You know- I sincerely love bedside PICU nursing. I love my job. I love our docs and all of my co-workers and my manager. Really!
But- I want so badly to get my research out there to benefit all the other night shift nurses in the world. I had a few people ask me if I travel!!! How cool would that be?
Congrats!!!
UPDATE: The same conference contacted me a couple months ago asking for a speaking/ workshop abstract. Sent it.
They emailed me today - I'm going to VEGAS, getting paid to talk about my research, airfare, hotel (the Mirage!) the whole nine yards.
I've never been to Vegas before!! Super-excited.
I'm also doing a poster and a podium at the Pathway to Excellence Conference in San Antonio in May (think: 'Magnet Lite'), and have proposals in to several other conferences. Better be getting my PowerPoint on!
