Nursing Education and Research Rounds (NEARR) Backgrounder
Nursing Education and Research Rounds (NEARR)
Learn how nurses are addressing practice-relevant questions through research! NEARR is a monthly series of web-based nursing education sessions featuring nurses presenting their research or synthesis projects to other nurses. NEARR sessions connect nurses to the latest in nursing research and patient care improvements, provide professional development opportunities and engage nurses in discussion about evidence-informed practice. NEARR participation is free and timely.
Once per month, NEARR will feature a 60-minute program that will help nurses stay on top of the latest thinking and strategies for improving patient care. You can tune in “live” through your computer or telephone, or listen to recordings of the broadcast later at your convenience. See http://www.inspirenet.ca/wiki/archive-nearr-sessions for archived copies of NEARR presentations. Please join us!
How to join in on a NEARR presentation:
NEARR presentations use WebEx technology. There are two ways to join:
1) Via computer alone: You can access the audio through your computer speakers or headphones and can submit comments or questions via the chat function in WebEx.
2) Via telephone alone: You can participate in the audio aspects of the program, but will not have access to chat functions or visual presentations. If you choose to participate via telephone, please mute your phone during the presentation.
