March Webinar
Professional Power in a Digital World
Health care is changing fast — and nurses are at the centre of that change. As new digital tools and interoperable systems are introduced, many nurses are feeling both the potential benefits and the real challenges of adapting to new technologies in already busy clinical environments. This interactive webinar, developed in partnership with AAN’s commitment to advocating for nurses, will explore the big picture of digital health and interoperability, then bring it down to what it means for nurses’ day-to-day practice and patient care. Participants will reflect on their own experiences with technology, explore how digital tools can support safer, more connected care, and learn simple change management strategies to navigate ongoing change with confidence.
Designed for frontline nurses, educators, managers, and leaders, this session positions nurses not just as users of technology — but as powerful contributors in shaping how digital health works in real clinical settings.

- LPNs: Evidence Informed Practice
