Setting The Pace Conference 2017 

Dear Emergency Department Nurse,

When I think of Emergency Nurses, I think of everyday heroes. Like many, I grew up
learning to love Emergency Nursing. Whether it was in the trauma bay, or in triage, I
got to see the different types of patients that Emergency Nurses cared for on a daily
basis. Everything about our role excites me. More than our work, however, Emergency
Nurses have such a unique bond. It is the spirit of these characteristics of a Emergency
Nurse that brings us together for Setting the Pace 2017.

At Setting the Pace 2016, we reviewed our evaluations, saw what worked, and what
did not work. As a group, we worked hard to seek out speakers and topics to challenge
our attendees to learn and bring back knowledge to their facilities to promote “Safe
Practice and Safe Care.” This year, our speakers range from nationally known speakers
who have represented Emergency Nursing across the nation, Advanced Practice Nurses,
and leaders in Emergency Medicine. We have expanded our topics to cover different
topics including infection control, advanced practice, leadership, and critical care
pharmacology. We sought out high acuity but low volume topics to ever better prepare
our attendees to meet the needs of patients who come to their door.

The Setting the Pace conference is always a wonderful opportunity for Emergency
Nurses to unite and reinvigorate their passion for Emergency Nursing. It takes a special
person to be an Emergency Nurse, and these two days allow for knowledge sharing,
networking, and the ability to check out new innovations and products.

Whether you’re looking to make new contacts, learn something new, or meet up with
old friends, Setting the Pace allows for opportunities to work with Emergency Nurses
from all over the world. So join us on April 27th and April 28th at the Holiday Inn in
Saratoga Springs!

With much respect and admiration,
