Join your AFN colleagues at the 2024 AFN Las Vegas Regional Conference this September! This conference includes two engaging learning opportunities.
First, dive into two days of presentations and networking opportunities. Explore topics like trauma informed care, nursing policy, human trafficking, strangulation, and forensic nursing standards. A special after-hours networking event will be held at Atomic Golf on Day 1 to facilitate camaraderie and stress relief.
Finally, join forensic nursing mentors for the Non-Fatal Strangulation Clinical Competency Validation Simulation, where you'll get hands-on experience and validate your skills in performing a strangulation examination using ALS, photo, and narrative documentation methodologies. Participants will work as a team of four nurses. This session is limited to 48 participants.
