REGISTRATION – Early registration until noon on March 16
Location – UCLA Luskin Conference Center
Host – Ethics of Caring® brings the National Nursing Ethics Conference to honor our commitment by exploring the intersection of healthcare practice and ethical considerations in patient care. This event brings together healthcare professionals to discuss, learn, and share insights on healthcare ethics.
Description – All through history we have witnessed the power of people gathering to overcome challenges by building a moral community. Recognizing the pursuit of the moral good unites us together and is both empowering and sustaining. As healthcare professionals with shared ethical commitments, we are compelled to come together to build, strengthen, and sustain healthcare systems. Today, we face unique obstacles with diverse aims throughout our communities, summoning us to prioritize the ethics of caring and repair fractures that exist.
We hold each other accountable to honor the different voice – wherever it surfaces in the hierarchy – often hidden by rigidity, defensiveness and forgotten integrity. An ethic of caring invites individuals to voice questions or raise concerns that bring about compassionate respectful dialogue. We are not asked to do this alone. Rather together we create a culture that opens hearts that may be hardened by apathy, cynicism, or weariness, thereby building a community that reminds us of our shared humanity. Together we become a force that rekindles our moral imagination and nourishes our collective agency – where being seen, heard, and valued enhances strength and fortitude.
Participants can earn CE by attending various sessions and workshops throughout the conference. Announcement shortly of final CE available.
