Specializes in Emergency Nursing.

I'm going! I'm a post-grad. FNP student (my MSN is in Nursing Education) and I graduate in Dec. 2017. I'm looking to go into ED or Urgent Care so I'm trying to work on developing some of those skills and procedures so I can find an ED job when I graduate. It's my first AANP conference but I didn't want to pass it up.

Chris,

It's a great conference and has so many great options, especially if you want to learn some new skills. Are you planning on taking in any of the additional workshops?

Sure did! I've signed up for a bunch of them including an basic splinting one, minor procedures, suturing etc. I know it makes me a huge nerd but I can't wait!

I'd love to but I'm just starting my new job and will wait to see if they have any need for me to go. TeamHealth actually provides a lot of CME for free. While I get a fairly decent CME perk, I have time to see how I'll use it.

That doesn't make you a nerd! Sounds like you are going to take full advantage of the conference! Great!

I would love to go, and even live close enough. But I can't afford $545 registration fee (and I'm an AANP member!) and my employer will not pay it. I can get plenty of free CEUs from the membership site, so it isn't even worth it for CEUs. I wish the fee were more reasonable, definitely under $300.
