Additional Information


ANA-ILLINOIS IS PROUD TO HOST OUR 24TH ANNUAL EVENT IN SPRINGFIELD

Our 2022 event will:

  • feature an exceptional keynote speaker who will inspire and provide concrete lessons on how to weave innovation and balanced thinking into one’s daily life
  • spark discussion, encourage learning, and foster connection.
  • deliver relevant and timely content for the current state of nursing in Illinois.
  • energize and fuel the growth of future nurse leaders!
KEYNOTE - Finding Balance in Chaotic Times

The demands of school, work, and life have become layered with the chaos of a global pandemic. We are juggling the same balls but now they are blazing hot with no signs of relief. Society still expects nurturers, caretakers, and nurses to smile while trying to keep our hero capes flowing. While we are trying hard to remember why we took on this responsibility. How do we maintain our sanity in the midst of the chaos? How do we care for ourselves while caring for others?
