INPD Spring Meeting

We had a lovely breakfast meeting at the Little America coffee shop. Thanks to everyone who made it. Here are the notes from the meeting:

Fall Conference (Sept? Oct? Location?)

Speaker: Greg Durkin – “How to Enjoy Your Job” Presentation

• Consensus to have Greg come

Conference, Education Ideas: 

• Telehealth
• Quality related/evidence based practice (How to drive)
• Have a presentation of educator’s evidence based practice projects
• Paula Julander – Politics
• Legal Ramifications, litigation against nurses, have a nurse lawyer come
• Informal leader as an educator
• Motivating and influencing people
• Send an inquiry out of members who want to be on the conference committee:
• Annette Welch would like to be included
• Susan Peterson – Lone peak as well
• Suzanne Carlisle will make a quilt to raffle off
• Come up with a list of conference objects and a target audience
• Possibly extend an invitation to any Clinical educator, not necessarily nurses
• Have Annette present her ANPD National Conference Presentation – Facilitating Facilitators

Other ideas: 

• Have more often at Little America – have people pay their own way
• Bring back a service project 
• Send group a directory of INPD members with contact information 
• Send a link to the INPD blog
• Add the list serves as a reference on the blog
• There is a concern if we have more ANPD certified Professional Development Specialists, how can they get more CEU’s to maintain certification
• Host ANPD webinars for the group
• Friday mornings still work best for most

We will definitely plan more meetings at Little America. It was fun! 

If you have any comments or concerns, please let us know!

Donna Wright Conference Info

Getting to the University of Utah College of Nursing

We highly recommend using public transportation to get to the Donna Wright conference! If you take Front Runner to Central Point, the U runs a white campus shuttle called "Express to the U" every half hour from 0630 to 0830 that will take you up to the College of Nursing. If you catch it at 0730, you will get there in time for the 0800 start. 

If you want to take Trax, the Red line will get you across the street from Primary Children's:

If you need to drive, please carpool!!!

The top map will get you to the Health Science parking terrace which has visitor parking on the first and second level, at the corner of South Medical Dr and 2030 East. The bottom map will get you to the College of Nursing, 10 South 2000 East. Getting to campus by car will take you twice as long as it normally does because school is in session. Expect delays.
