Camosun College, and Island Health WNRCASN Conference
The WNRCASN Conference welcomed participants from the Western and Northern Region Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing at the Hotel Grand Pacific, February 15-17, 2017
Preliminary feedback has been very positive. The venue was outstanding, and this year we were able to include both undergraduate and graduate students as Poster presenters. This conference was also our first conference being co-hosted as a partnership between Camosun College and the University of Victoria School of Nursing. We both participated actively in planning, organizing, and delivering the conference. We also acknowledge the support provided by both institutions which helped to ensure a successful conference.
Sincerely, Karen MacKinnon and Darlaine Jantzen, conference Co-Chairs.
