In an effort to meet the educational needs of School Nurses in Ohio, the association made some changes to this year’s event. First, it was moved to a central location to make it equally accessible to nurses across the state. We seemed to have accomplished that.
These were the areas where nurses came from
Session Feedback and Surveys
We used a new registration system this year which gave us the opportunity for interaction while at conference. Most everyone downloaded the app and used it before during and after the conference (WHOVA APP LINK). You can still go to your app and complete session feedback and surveys. You gave us very good feedback for planning next year’s conferences. Of those that responded 92% liked the format for registration and networking. We met that goal as well.
The committee is already planning for next year and will use all your feedback to make next year another great event!!
Annette Scott BSN, RN, LSN was awarded the leader for using the Whova app to connect with colleagues, exhibitors and friends. [See her photo in the side of the page.]
