The topic of discussion at this forum will be nursing across acute care settings. Please view the agenda for more information.

Invitation to Submit Testimony

You may submit testimony in any or all of these areas. All testimony received prior to Monday, October 5 will be considered in the development of the forum discussion. Please note that you are welcome to submit testimony whether you plan to attend the meeting or not.
