Expanding Nursing Science in Population and Global Health
Hosted by Emory University School of Nursing
The Southern Nursing Research Society (SNRS) invites you to join us March 21-24, 2018, at the Sheraton Atlanta Hotel in Atlanta, GA, as we celebrate our 32nd year of supporting and advancing quality nursing research at the 2018 Annual Conderence. The SNRS Program Committee has planned a full program with scholarly papers, symposia, poster discussion sessions, posters, general sessions, and networking sessions.
New This Year! Plan to join us starting Wednesday, March 21.
Tour of Center for Disease Control (CDC)
What would a visit to Atlanta be without a tour of the CDC? Come learn why the CDC is headquartered in Atlanta, what CDC measures in its tobacco laboratory, and how the CDC helped NASA during the Apollo 11 moon mission! As an additional option for attendees on Wednesday, March 21, SNRS will be offering two tours, 9 am and 10 am, to the CDC in Atlanta. The tours are two hours in length and space is limited to 30 on each tour. You must pre-register and pay to hold your spot.
