Nursing 2005 Symposium in New Orleans, Anyone going?

Published

Specializes in OB, M/S, HH, Medical Imaging RN.

I have signed up and paid to go and will be taking the med/surg certification test while there. The symposium looks awesome. I live about a 8 hours drive from N.O. I'm so looking forward to going in March. I will be traveling with a good friend from work. She has been an RN in Austrailia for 25 years but has just passed her NCLEX here and I've been precepting for 3 weeks. She doing awesome. I was so happy when she said she'd like to go also. Just wondering if any of my cyber nursing friends were planning to go also?

I am going to respond to this thread so it kicks it up to the top of the forum. I am not attending this year, but do hope to attend one of the conferences with the American Academy of Med-Surg Nurses in the future. Have a great time!

Awww man, it's looks awesome! I really miss going to things like that. When I worked for the TDH Immunization Program we were always going to a conferences (or hosting them ourselves). Can't make it this year, but you'll have an great time I'm sure.

Also, to the student who was asking if she could go- usually they have discounted rates just for students.

I am from New Orleans and can tell you some great places to EAT! or music, entertainment, whatever! If I can help, let me know. :)

I am going also- I live in Nebraska so will be flying in (thanks dad!). Am also taking the Med Surg certification- is there a book or something I should be looking for? Also want to take Larakoko up on her offer- am looking for "authentic" cuisine- not the tourist places. I love seafood and am pretty adventurous, but hubby likes meat and potatoes. Would be up for any suggestions (no- I won't try crawfish!) thanks for the replies in advance! Aimee
