Hi all, I have been an employed RN since 2011 Nov. Right now I work med/surge/tele unit and I aim to start a psych nurse career after about two years of experience with my current unit. My inquiry is concerning nursing conferences. I have joined ANA, TNA, and APNA. I would love to attend a conference. To those of you that have attended one, what are they generally like, what may I expect to take away from the experience? I know this question may sound silly, but I really am not sure what to expect and before I spend the money to travel, stay in a hotel and such, I am curious as to what a conference may be all about. Particularly I would like to attend a psychiatric conference, since I plan to begin a psych. nursing career soon. Any advice is welcomed and I thank you in advance!-mom35
