Cardiac nurses' symposium.NZNO'S CARDIAC Nurses' Section is convening a one-day symposium entitled "Latest trends and research" next month in Christchurch. The theme includes a broad range of clinical issues pertinent to nurses working in any cardiac area. There will be presenters from other disciplines but primarily this is a day for cardiac nurses to hear and share with other colleagues nationally. The preliminary programme includes topics ranging from cardiac research, latest in ablation ablation /ab·la·tion/ (-shun) 1. separation or detachment; extirpation; eradication. 2. removal or destruction, especially by cutting. ab·la·tion n. treatments, adult congenital heart disease congenital heart disease, any defect in the heart present at birth. There is evidence that some congenital heart defects are inherited, but the cause of most cases is unknown. and ethical dilemmas An ethical dilemma is a situation that will often involve an apparent conflict between moral imperatives, in which to obey one would result in transgressing another. This is also called an ethical paradox . We are particularly fortunate to have section founding member and former NZNO NZNO New Zealand Nurses Organisation president Di Penny to open this symposium. The section, established in 1997, now has around 202 members and this number is growing annually. The day--August 28--will conclude with our AGM AGM annual general meeting AGM n abbr (= annual general meeting) → AG f AGM n abbr (= annual general meeting) → JHV f and social drinks. Posters and flyers will be in your area shortly but any registration enquires can be directed to Chris Higgins at higgy004@msn.com or via any other committee member. --Report by section chair Judy Ward. |
