Ranch wife let me know of any other good conferences...im going to one at the civic center in Rapid city ...first one ive been to since I got my lisc.. dont know if my butt can take sitting that long ......O yeah does your hosp pay for your conferences you go to???? just curious...
our little 9 bed hospital does, indeed, pay for the conference, fuel to and fro and the room and reimburses for meals!! Pretty sweet deal, if ya ask me!! We have employees from Billings coming to our little town the 2nd and 3rd of October to do our TNCC (Trauma Nurse Core Course) classes for us.....much better than having to pay for 12 nurses to stay in a hotel, meals and gas for all!! Hoping to get our ACLS done the same way in December! We often find out about conferences by contacting the hospitals in the surrounding area (Billings Deaconess, Billings St Vincents, Missoula St Patricks, Missoula Community, Bozeman Deaconess and Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls) and asking for a copy of their upcoming seminars!! Most are more than willing to work with you!! Many conferences give you several breaks in the day, lots of opportunity to get up and stretch your legs, coffee and tea and GREAT information!! Best of luck to you!! I leave here in about 3 hours!! Yay!!
