Exhibitors

The National Conference for Nurse Practitioners in Acute Care is the only national conference specifically for advanced practice providers managing the care of acutely and critically ill patients. These may include those specifically certified in Acute Care as well as Family, Adult, and Emergency Nurse Practitioners and other advanced practice registered nurses, such as Clinical Nurse Specialists, who work in hospitals and emergency care settings.

Nurse Practitioners practicing in Acute Care settings form the critical link among all healthcare professionals in managing the care of acutely and critically ill patients. These specialized NPs practice in settings where patient care requires that they coordinate complex therapies and high-intensity nursing interventions. They have an immediate professional interest in diverse acute care topics including neurology, cardiology, nephrology, pulmonology, hematology, and infectious disease. Nurse Practitioners working in Acute Care settings specify the use of medical equipment and prescribe medications. Updates in pharmacology are always hot topics. Many attendees will be seeking to enhance analytic and procedural skills in the Workshops and Pre-Conferences that precede the Main Conference.
