Nursing Research and Practice Symposium: Family Centered Care

Keynote Speaker | 5-6 p.m. | Benson Great Hall

You're Anne's Dad! Family Centered Care
Sue Steen, RN, MS; Assistant Professor of Nursing, Adjunct Perinatal Nurse Navigator, Maple Grove Hospital; Nurse Educator, Ashfield Healthcare
For almost 30 years, Family Centered Care has been a concept that has been well received by families and practitioners alike. Originally developed around the needs of children and their families, many have recognized that the partnership of families and their providers benefits adults as well as children, hence the desire of many for universal FCC. We will discuss the impact of illness on families and helpful interventions that allow for partnering with families while being culturally sensitive. Stories and examples of successful and challenging scenarios will allow for personalization of FCC and its application to a variety of settings.

Interactive Poster Session | 6-7:30 p.m. | RC Gym

Vendors

This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase your organization and connect directly with Bethel nursing students, both undergraduate and graduate. If you have not participated as a vendor please consider doing so this year! Vendor organizations register for booth space during the evening event. Because of incentives for Bethel nursing students to interact with all vendors, you can expect a high volume of participants visiting your booth.

We appreciate our ongoing partnership with many of you and are excited for new partners to join us as well! Our nursing students look forward to their required participation in the symposium and hearing more about your organization for potential employment.

Vendor unload and parking: You can unload at the side entrance of the RC gym, and park in the East parking lot nearest to the RC building.
