Registration Open for 2025 Virtual Nursology Theory Week, March 20-24

Register here

The contemporary series of the Annual Nursology Theory week was established after the 2019 Theory conference hosted in person by Case Western Reserve University Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, Cleveland, Ohio, USA. The conference was so inspiring a group decided to make this an annual event! The initial plan was to gather in 2020 in Memphis, at the UTHSC College of Nursing, Hosted by the Margaret Newman Center for Nursing Theory – the same March when the COVID-19 pandemic hit! The in person conference had to be canceled – a disappointment that gave rise to the idea of an Annual Virtual conference! Since this conference was strongly supported by graduate students who wanted to learn more about nursing theory, and who needed a forum to present their own scholarship and network with nursologist students and faculty from around the world – this was a perfect “solution”!

This year’s conference 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 program outline will follow the traditions of the past few years – plenary sessions on Thursday, Saturday and Monday, along with 30-minute “knowledge sessions” based on your abstracts! Each day will end with open “daily dialogues” among all participants! Make plans now to attend! 

The plenary sessions are scheduled now and can be viewed on the conference website. The knowledge sessions will be announced soon. Presenters will include students, early-career scholars, and seasoned scholars who are engaged with the most current and cutting edge nursing scholarship.

So register now! You will receive the conference Guidebook about a week in advance of the conference, which will provide you with each session’s abstracts, bios of the presenters, slides for each of the sessions, and of course, the Zoom link to participate as an attendee! Guidebook will also contain contact information for all other attendees, so that you can network with nursologists from around the globe. You can select the sessions to attend over the 5 day conference based on your availability and interests! Based on feedback from previous conferences, this is not one to be missed!
