INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE

Each school will determine and use its own procedure to select up to three (3) students* to participate in each of the following educational programs:

  • Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)
  • Master of Science-Nursing (MSN) or Master-Nursing (MN)
  • Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)
  • Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing Science (PhD)

*Eligibility note - students who finish a dissertation (or EBP project) after the last MNRS conference in March/April 2022 are still eligible to submit a student poster even if they have graduated. 

We understand that many institutions have an internal review of student abstracts for the Student Posters. You are welcome to solicit for abstracts to review internally to determine which abstracts will be selected by your school and then inform your students once the official call is sent by MNRS.

In order for MNRS to update you regarding your student submissions, we are asking each Dean to provide a list of students selected for poster sessions to the MNRS Executive Office by Friday, October 14, 2022.  If you need additional time for your internal selection process, please contact the MNRS Executive Office and let them know you will be participating in this year’s Student Poster Competition and when you will have the student names.
