Call for Abstracts Open for Virtual Nursology Theory Week 2025

The annual Virtual Nursology Theory Week (VNTW) conference will be March 20-24, 2025, and the call for abstracts is open! The deadline for submission is December 1, 2024. The theme, Honoring Our Past and Moving Forward: Decolonizing Nursing Knowledge, reflects our commitment to embracing our history while forging a path toward a progressive and inclusive future in nursing. The inspiration of the conference theme is based on Iheduru-Anderson and Waite’s paper published in 2024 –

Iheduru-Anderson, Kechi, & Waite, Roberta. (2024). Decolonizing nursing education: Reflecting on Paulo Freire’s pedagogy of the oppressed. Nursing Outlook, 72(4). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.outlook.2024.102183

Please use this form to submit an abstract for the Virtual Nursing Theory Week to be held from March 20-24, 2025. Deadline for submission: December 1, 2024. Notification of status: December 31, 2024. Plan to include in your abstract a brief description of how your planned presentation aligns with the conference theme.

There will be two types of presentations during the conference; you can select your preference on the submission form, or leave the type open depending on the needs of the conference. Each Knowledge Session podium presentation will be 30 minutes long; we recommend 20 minutes to present plus 10 minutes for questions and discussion. Knowledge Session Poster presentations will be 5 minutes long during which time the presenter will provide an overview of their topic. After the poster overviews are completed, presenters will be moved to different Zoom Breakout Rooms to meet with attendees for questions and discussion for an extended period of time. Attendees will be able to move around to visit whatever posters they wish to discuss!

So sharpen your pencils (metaphorically of course!) and submit your abstract soon!
