National FORUM of State Nursing Workforce Center’s Annual Conference

Once again, CCNW was a lead sponsor of the National FORUM of State Nursing Workforce Center’s Annual Conference that took place in Washington, DC on June 12-14, 2023.  For the third year, Marcia Proto was an integral member of the Conference Planning Committee securing sponsors for the national event, as well as confirming Rebecca Love to be the keynote speaker of the Conference.  In addition, CCNW continued its five-year tradition of being podium presenters. 

• This year’s presentation was in conjunction with Versant Healthcare Competency Solutions and highlighted the development and implementation of CCNW’s Certified Nursing Assistant Course, specifically designed to meet the needs of our post-acute care employers.  Highlighting how essential competencies- critical for safe and quality practice of the CNA- were determined and braided into both the Didactic and Clinical Immersion components.  Larissa Africa, CEO of Versant; Beth Capobianco, CCNW Course Developer & Lead Faculty, and Marcia Proto were presenters of the session.
  
• Moreover, Peggy Mallick spoke with hundreds of attendees while “manning” the CCNW booth sharing solutions to addressing the nurse workforce faculty shortages including our Part-time Clinical Nurse Faculty Prep Course and our “soon to launch” Full-time Nurse Faculty Prep Course on August 7, 2023
