The 26th Annual Conference Recordings are intended for neonatal staff nurses, advanced practice nurses, managers, educators, and researchers. A computer with audio capabilities is needed to participate in this activity.

The purpose of the activity is to provide neonatal nurses with the vast array of knowledge, tools, and skill set required.  The activity provides exposure to multiple aspects of neonatal care; in the areas of management, advanced practice, certification review, and staff nursing.  All of this is aimed at providing best practices, information applicable to patient care, all based on the most current evidence.  The Annual Conference Recordings strive to give attendees what they need to grow personally, professionally, and improve the patient care each provides.
