ABNS Hosts Summit on Creating International Research Agenda

On October 7 - 9, I attended the National Certification and Competency Summit, hosted by the Competency & Credentialing Institute (CCI) and the American Board of Nursing Specialties. The goal of the meeting was to develop an international research agenda. More than 80 participants attended and worked in an interactive setting, specifically designed for the meeting, to discuss research priorities. If you attended the meeting, congratulations on a successful meeting. If you didn't attend, I encourage you to visit the summit Web site. This was a unique event that used a collaborative and innovative approach to build consensus.
