In past years, 200-250 nurses and nurse researchers attended this conference. This year we expect 300 participants from the US and Asia. We hope that you can join us to share in the learning and passion for improving the quality of health care.

The profession of Nursing is dedicated to improving health for individuals and communities through the provision of evidence-based, safe, and quality health care. Nurses in Hawai‘i stand at the gateway between East and West and as such, are prepared to address cross cultural issues and trends impacting health in resource enriched and constrained settings.
