PROGRAM
1st International
Integrative Nursing
Symposium
Reykjavik Iceland
18 – 20 May 2015
We take cancer personally
ROC150403
Welcome
We are very pleased to welcome you to the 1st International Integrative Nursing Symposium. The interest in integrative nursing is a global phenomena
and we are so pleased to convene over 250 clinicians, educators and students from 12 countries!
While the essence of nursing has long been whole person (body, mind, and spirit) and whole system-focused, in reality the contemporary practice
of nursing in many settings around the globe has become increasingly fragmented and de-stabilized. Nursing shortages in many parts of the world
are significant, and hierarchies and bureaucracies often remove nurses from the point of care, be that the bedside, home, or clinic, replacing them
with less skilled workers and filling their time with documentation and other administrative tasks. Integrative nursing is a framework for providing
whole person/whole system care that is relationship-based and person-centered and focuses on improving the health and wellbeing of caregivers
as well as those they serve. The principles of integrative nursing offer clear and specific guidance that can shape and impact patient care in all
clinical settings.
The theme for the symposium “Expanding Care and Transforming Lives” is well expressed in presentations that focus on applications of integrative
nursing in a wide variety of clinical settings including acute care, mental health, oncology, community health, pediatrics, senior care, and midwifery.
Sessions will also be offered on integrative nursing and education, informatics, self-care, the environment and integrative therapies and healing
practices. A new session has been added on “Nurses and the Media: Tips on telling your Story. The focus throughout the conference will be
leadership and innovation.
We are so pleased to be in Reykjavik Iceland! When the symposium is not in session, we hope that you will have an opportunity to spend time in
nature exploring glaciers, lava fields, waterfalls and geysers. Close to Reykjavik, there are restaurants, shopping areas and art galleries to explore
as well as the Blue Lagoon.
We hope that you enjoy your time in Iceland and that you find the symposium fulfilling personally as well as professionally.
Warm Regards,
Conference Co-Chairs
