This nursing continuing professional development activity was approved by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses, an accredited approver by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation.
Horizons is a three-day critical care educational symposium that is organized by chapters within Region 1 AACN. It is designed to facilitate the communication of advances appearing on the HORIZON in critical care. It is also aimed at establishing a network among all participating members to improve the quality of care given to acutely ill patients.
Each conference offers the opportunity to attend three days of sessions covering every level of interest and expertise. Attend all three days, or just one – it’s your decision. Create a schedule that best fits your needs. Make the most of your learning experience by attending the optional sunrise or lunch sessions.
This exciting and informative event takes place every other year. The first Horizons was held in 1986.
Venues have included Boston, MA, Manchester, NH, Hartford, CT, Burlington, Vermont, Portland, Maine and Springfield, MA.
