Welcome
Welcome to Nursing Research on the Green, the premier nursing-focused event in the tri-state area. Our continued focus on recognizing and celebrating nursing scholarship, research, and innovation has allowed us to create a unique opportunity for experts, scholars, practitioners, and students to come together and learn from one another. ​
As it has been from the beginning, our goal is to provide a platform for sharing knowledge, exploring new ideas and advancing the field of nursing in the region and beyond.
​
To ensure the sustainability and continued excellence of the Nursing Research on the Green event, we will be introducing a small participation fee. Historically, our event has been free, but this change will help us maintain the high standards you have come to expect.
We understand that the new participation fee may be a barrier for some attendees. If funding is a concern, we encourage you to choose our free admission option. We want to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to participate and benefit from the event.
