Every day, critical care nurses show up for others, often during the hardest moments of patients' lives. We advocate, intervene, educate and support. We are the calm in the chaos, the steady presence amid crisis. But while we're trained to care for everyone else, it's all too easy to forget something essential: We need care, too.
That's why NTI — the National Teaching Institute & Critical Care Exposition is more than a nursing conference. It's a space for you. A time to reconnect with the why behind your work. A place to learn, to breathe and to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with thousands of other nurses who get it.
You Deserve to Be Seen
One of the most powerful parts of NTI is how deeply it validates your experience. Whether you're a new nurse finding your rhythm or a seasoned clinician, NTI offers sessions, networking and connections that can help guide you on your professional journey.
The energy is electric. The learning is relevant. And the people? They're your people.
Real Learning for the Real World
The sessions at NTI are built for critical care, progressive care, advanced practice and pediatric nurses. From clinical deep-dives to leadership tools, NTI delivers the kind of knowledge you can take home and actually use.
You'll gain access to the latest evidence-based clinical content, presented by world-renowned nursing experts. You'll leave with new strategies, new insights and new confidence in your ability to care, not just for your patients and their families, but for yourself and for sharing with your team.
Explore what's planned for NTI 2025 sessions are grounded in evidence-based practice, frontline relevance and meeting the challenges nurses face right now.
A Chance to Just ... Be

It's a reminder that your work is noble, your voice is vital and you are never alone in this profession.
Reconnect With Purpose
Attending NTI is more than professional development. It's a time for personal renewal. And in a field that demands so much of your heart, that kind of renewal is necessary.
Thousands of nurses return to NTI year after year. They come for the education and they come back for the community, the connection, the inspiration and the clarity that NTI brings to their practice and their purpose.
