Post-Event Follow-Up
Thank you for attending the Nursing Forum – Diversity in the Workplace event. The event was held in Edwardsville and Chicago with great success. The information presented at both sessions was invaluable as we move to diversify the nursing workforce here in Illinois.
Below are links to the PowerPoint presentations from both sessions. We hope that you find these resources valuable as you begin to address these issues in your workplace.
