SUMMARY:Documentary Screening - SHIFT Films - Everybody's Work: Healing What Hurts Us All
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n Join IASN for an exclusive documentary screening of SHIFT Films\,  Everybody’s Work – Healing What Hurts Us all on March 20th. \n“Everybody’s Work” uncovers the pervasive issue of racism in healthcare\, revealing its harmful effects on patients and nurses alike. Through the courageous stories of nurses and patients of color across the country\, this documentary challenges the belief that racism only exists if personally experienced. It urges us to confront the reality that it impacts us all. \nNurses\, as trusted healthcare leaders\, have the power to dismantle racial biases and promote equitable care. By fostering inclusive practices and advocating for change\, they can pave the way for a healthier future. But this film also serves as a rallying cry\, reminding us that healing from racism in healthcare is a collective responsibility that transcends individual professions and identities. It’s everybody’s work. \n1.5 CEUs available upon completion. \nWatch the film trailer below. \n \nRegistration is required to join the screening.

SUMMARY:IASN Virtual Town Hall Meeting - Presentation on Down Syndrome
DESCRIPTION:Please join IASN for a Virtual Town Hall on January 9th. \nPresentation on Down Syndrome with Dr. Cathy DiVincenzo. \nDr. Cathy DiVincenzo is a lifelong Chicagoan and the first person in her family to graduate from college.

The poster submission deadline is August 31st.\nApplicants will be notified of acceptance by September 8th and the final poster in electronic format (preferred) is due by October 1st. \nA poster presentation entails developing of a poster and engaging in discussion of the content with viewers. There is a reduced conference fee for accepted presenters. A Best Poster Award with a prize is awarded at the Conference! See Poster Tips below. \nContent that is commercial in nature will not be approved. \nIASN Poster Presentation Submission Directions\nEmail the following requirements to Maureen Rabbitte rabbitte21@gmail.com\n• Combination Bio and Conflict of Information form – see IASN Call for Posters\n• Cover letter to include:\n• Title of Presentation and brief description of the project\n• Name and credentials of primary presenter\n• Address\, email address\, and contact phone number\n• School district and/or organization Names and credentials of co-presenters\n• Sponsor or funding source for the project or research (if applicable). \nPlease make sure that all requirements have been included in your submission email. Contact Maureen Rabbitte rabbitte21@gmail.com with any questions. \nPoster Guidelines\nAccepted electronic posters will be printed for poster presenters. A poster template is provided for your convenience on the IASN website or you may design your own poster. Posters must be in a file format that can be printed 36” by 48”. Traditional hard copy trifold poster board presentations will also be accepted. \nPlease see Poster Judging Criteria on the IASN website. Posters will be judged for acceptance and a Best Poster Award will be presented at the Conference. \nFeel free to provide viewers with handouts of supplemental materials. Bring business cards if you have them and consider a sign-in sheet for participants to request more information. Dress professionally as if you were making an oral presentation. \nElectronic Poster Tips\n• Use Power Point to create the poster. You may use the provided template (see IASN website) or design your own poster. Posters need to be formatted to print size of 36” by 48”.\n• Include your project title\, your name\, credentials\, and the name of your institution.\n• Choose a simple font such as Arial\, Helvetica\, or Prestige Elite and stick with it. See the poster template for recommendations regarding font size.\n• Avoid overuse of outlining and shadowing\, it can be distracting. To make something stand out\, use a larger font size\, bold\, or underline instead.\n• Keep each panel relatively short and to the point. Consider bulleted phrases instead of full sentences.\n• Frame text by putting a box around to help readers focus on a standout point. Be mindful to leave enough white space so as to not visually\noverwhelm the viewer.\n• Whenever possible\, use graphs\, charts tables\, figures\, pictures\, or lists instead of text to get your point across. Images need to be high resolution or they appear fuzzy when printed.

SUMMARY:Virtual Town Hall Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Greater Chicago Food Depository has a mission to end hunger. Many of you witness food insecurity among your students related to poverty\, systemic inequity\, and structural racism.

Sophie is interested in learning the challenges that schools nurses face around feeding kids. We will have the opportunity to describe the barriers to helping students and how the administration can support the needs of students.   \n1 CE available upon completion.
