You've got the weekend to get those Hawaii Nursing Scientific Symposium abstracts in before the Monday deadline.

To our friends on the Neighbor Islands: don't forget that we have travel funding support available from the Hawaii State Rural Health Association. Priority for the funds will be given to presenters, so don't let the cost of a plane ticket keep you from submitting an abstract.

The response to this event from our NP community has been so enthusiastic that tickets have sold out!

We can't wait to celebrate Hawaii's amazing NPs in November with nearly 200 speakers, attendees, and exhibitors.

If you missed the chance to register, you can join the waitlist by emailing [email protected] or visiting https://www.hawaiicenterfornursing.org/npconference/.

Be sure to sign up to receive our newsletter to get notified as soon as registration opens for our 2027 conference.

Abstract submissions are open for the 2027 Hawaii Nursing Scientific Symposium!

The goal of HNSS is to bring nurses together from across the islands to share inquiry projects with each other. By hosting this event, we hope to foster faster translation of science into practice and to build a statewide nursing scientific community.

Nurses and interdisciplinary teams that include nurses are invited to submit abstracts for:

1️⃣ Original research studies

2️⃣ Evidence-based practice projects

3️⃣ Program development, implementation, and evaluation

4️⃣ Quality or practice improvement projects.

Registration is open for our first ever NP Week Conference!

Our keynote speaker will be Valerie Fuller, President of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners.

We will also have presentations from local NPs from every county in the state who will discuss topics such as NP practice, the future of the NP profession, starting a business, and more.

It's a great opportunity to network with local NPs and celebrate the vital role of nurse practitioners in our local healthcare community.

Much of our team was in San Diego this week with our friends and colleagues from the National Forum of State Nursing Workforce Centers. We spent two and a half days hearing presentations and engaging in conversations about nursing workforce. We are feeling energized and ready to bring back much of what we learned back home so we can continue working to support Hawaii's nurses.
