Most Recent Consortium Conference

The theme of the 7^th Massachusetts Regional Caring Science Consortium (MRCSC) conference was The Power of Caring Science Practices to Create Healing Work Environments, featuring Dr. Jean Watson, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, FAAN, (LL-AAN), renowned nurse theorist of Caring Science. It was held November 5 at UMass Worcester Graduate School of Nursing. Because reservations to the conference were quickly filled, an afternoon Fireside Chat with Jean Watson and Joan Vitello on Holistic Nursing was added. Both sessions were well attended and, we believe, proved a rewarding experience to attendees. The audio recording of the afternoon session is accessible at – https://echo360.org/media/687769e6-e946-486c-b67d-df3dfccea709/public. We thank UMass Worcester Graduate School of Nursing for providing the venues and, for the morning session, the excellent breakfast and continuing education credits; the volunteers who helped organize and run the conference; UMass Worcester Medical School, Graduate School of of Nursing staff for their generous efforts and cooperation; and of course the speakers, particularly Dr. Watson and Dr. Vitello, for sharing their time and expertise.
