Theme – The Future of Nursing Knowledge Development
The Virtual Nursology Theory Week (VNTW) 2026 will be held on March 19 through 23, 2026 (Thursday to Monday). As in past years, we will have a full schedule with Panel Presentations, a closing Keynote, Knowledge Sessions: Podium and Poster, and Daily Discussions for 4 of the 5 days of the conference. Register now and block your calendar so you do not miss a minute of the action. This is a virtual conference – see the program for 2025 as an example of the conference schedule over the 5 days.
Registration enables you to attend as much or as little of the conference as you would like. The all-in-one fee of $200 covers everything, including our new mobile app (more details on that as we get closer to the conference date).
In addition to registration being open, so is the Call for Abstracts! While we have some invited speakers, the majority of the VNTW is presented by people like you – learners, reseachers, teachers and practicing nurses! Each year we have over 40 different Knowledge Sessions, both podium and poster.

The Call for Abstracts will be open from now until December 1, 2025. Presenters will be notified of the decision on their abstract by December 23, 2025 and must confirm participation by January 10, 2026.
We have a new system for submitting an abstract, so please take some time to review it. One great feature is that you can begin a submission, save it, and come back to finish it later–just don’t forget to finish or you won’t be in the system! Abstracts are limited to 300 words and musts align with the theme of the conference: The Future of Nursing Knowledge Development. This reflects our commitment to embracing our history while forging a path toward a progressive and inclusive future for the development of discipline-specific nursing knowledge via various methods of scholarly inquiry. Abstracts should focus on innovative approaches to the conference theme. If you have presented at the VNTW in the past 5 years, please update your content, align your content with this year’s theme, and/or present on a new topic.
As a reminder, all presenters must register to attend the conference. Notice that we have “one stop shopping” so you can take care of both things, abstract and registration, at the same time. Our goal is to make everything as easy as possible for you!
I only recently signed up for Nursology and therefore missed the 2025 Nursology week. Is there any way I could get the recordings as there were some excellent topics that I would love to listen to.
Thank you

We do not record the sessions for the Virtual Nursology Theory Week. One possibility is to contact the presenters whose work you are interested in – they may be able to give you more information about their presentations. Or, they may have published something you might be interested in, so search for articles they have written. Meanwhile, our program for March 2026, I am sure, will be equally interesting and important! So watch for more information about March 2026 as it becomes available – and save the dates!
