on the Indiana University Purdue University of Indianapolis
Campus
June 8-13, 2008
 The
National League for Nursing is committed to excellence
in the scholarship and practice of evidence-based nursing
education. NLN recognizes the need for today’s nurse
educators to retreat and recharge their focus as faculty,
and has brought back the emblematic Immersion in Evidence-based
Nursing Education. This absorbing and innovative program
is designed to build career excellence for nurse educators.
It will strengthen your faculty role through role modeling
of active teaching/learning strategies, individual guidance
to help you integrate innovation into your curricula,
consultation with experts regarding evidence-based teaching,
and networking with professional colleagues.
So plan to spend the week of June 8-13 at the University
Place Conference Center and Hotel, neighboring the historic
Virginia Henderson International Nursing Library; where
you will have a personal immersion experience that will
enhance your professional growth and renew your sprit.
