The mission of the Ethics of Caring conference focuses on promoting ethical dialogue and on ethics education for nurses and others in health care. This year’s conference focuses specifically on celebrating who we are and what we can do to transform our profession.
Nursing’s impact can ripple across society in addressing some of the most pressing issues of our time: the epidemic of isolation and loneliness, inequities in health care, safe staffing, care of the most vulnerable, clinician burnout and the exodus from the nursing profession. Reconnecting to meaning and purpose becomes a wellspring to empower us to disrupt the status quo. Nursing’s contributions matter more than ever. Using the power of story and embracing the narrative of nurses, we hope that you will join us to reflect, dialogue, and celebrate who we are, what we can do, and how we can transform our profession in mighty ways.
