The NSRC State Conference for 2022 is scheduled for April 26-27. Sessions will run from 1 to 5 p.m. each day.

"With COVID and staffing shortages once again ravaging respiratory departments statewide, the NSRC educational conference must once again pivot," said NSRC President Heather Nichols.

"For the safety and consideration of all, we have made the difficult decision to transition the Conference to a virtual event, available online only."

Nichols added, "As an organization of frontline care providers, our foremost priority is our members' well-being and that of their patients and families. We were looking forward to seeing you in person this year. Still, with requirements for some to stay local, ongoing travel disruptions from the virus, and the unpredictability of the new Omicron variant, shifting to an online event makes the most sense for the quality experience you expect from NSRC."

The courses and sign-up information will be posted soon.
