The conference is designed for perianesthesia nurses, healthcare professionals, and nursing students from across Texas. The purpose is to enable the nurse to learn about new trends in healthcare systems, implement competent patient care, and discuss clinical topics important to the perianesthesia nurse and other healthcare professionals.
Speakers and exhibitors will offer up to date information, concepts, and advanced technology to Perianesthesia Nurses and a broad base of nursing audience.
