Finding Conferences and Seminars

[WOLFE, BSN, RN]

Hello all,

I hope someone can help. I am looking for a way to find out when conferences and seminars are taking place. I have tried the google thing and I usually get the listings but most are in other states..I live in Jersey and I am sure there are more then I seem to be able to find. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated....Thanx.

You might also want to try local hospitals (larger ones that is) under education. I live/work in the Dallas/Ft. Worth TX area and the larger hospitals do seminars and such that people from outside the hospital system can attend for a charge. I sent email to the ed. co-ordinator and they sent me lists of upcoming events and the cost.

Great suggestions. To expand of checking with facilities, I had put myself on a list of a Cardiac Hospital and recently got to go to a wonderful conference on Cardian Updates. Our local Psych. Hospital puts on workshops *via Pharmacy Reps" on Medication Management of a specific category of medication. Perhaps, you can get on a mailer for specialty group or facility in your area.

I hope that helps.
