25th Annual!
2012 Visions Symposium
of the Greater Kansas City AACN Chapter
Thursday, March 8th, 2012
&
Friday, March 9th, 2012

Welcome to the 25th Annual VISIONS Symposium, hosted by the Greater Kansas City Chapter (GKCC) of the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN)! 

AACN was established in 1969 and is the largest specialty nursing organization. The GKCC of AACN was established in 1973 and continues to be very active in serving the community with award winning programming and activities. Through educational programming and scholarship support, we service the progressive and critical care nurses in Region 14 (Missouri and Kansas) and beyond.

The 2012 Visions Symposium theme mirrors the AACN President, Mary Stahl's, theme: Together, Stronger, Bolder!

The objective of this symposium is to provide the participant with innovations in critical care and progressive care, to enhance your clinical knowledge, and motivate you to develop further as a professional.  Come network with your peers, learn evidence-based  clinical practice, access the latest technology on display by vendors, be inspired, shop, and pay-it-forward through community Harvester and Lions Club donations.
