Hi! I will be attending this and would love to meet up with anyone who will also be going! 🙂

@isabelle55a79862 100%! Can’t wait to see you there!!! It’ll be fun, I got you!

I would love to go to this! Is it better to go to this or the Mid-Year Assembly?

@hhoppe156d4192c so I think it depends on a few things (they’re both good btw).

1. Are your programs in the DMV area? The MYA is always in D.C. and is a big lobbying event, more than likely you’ll connect with people who are near D.C. (although people from around the country do attend, I would say that more SRNAs/Faculty/CRNAs will attend MYA)
2. If you are applying to multiple programs in different geographical areas, the Annual Congress is a good options because everyone from around the country will be there, meaning, you can hit multiple birds with one stone so to speak>

Lastly, if you are only applying to say, a few programs in one geographical area, then I would definitely just recommend attending your State’s AANA meeting. For example, if you’re banking on Alabama schools, going to an Alabama-specific event means a more intimate, higher likelihood scenario of you networking with Alabama peeps. It’s not guaranteed that Alabama faculty will be at either of the national events, but they’ll likely be at the State event.

Sooooo, long way of saying, are you schools scattered across the country (Annual Congress), or are they in one state (go to a state meeting)…or do you live in the DMV area and want to stay there or it’s more affordable for you to attend the MYA (then do that). Hope this makes sense!

@thecrnaclub that does make sense! I am looking at schools all over the country but my top schools are close to home, West Virginia. So, DC and Nashville are both within driving distance and I do plan to attend my state’s meeting.

Would there be any benefit in going to AACN NTI this year instead of MYA? I don’t think the networking will be quite the same, but the learning aspect might be worth it?

Hi everyone, I’m Jasmine! I am also planning on attending the Annual Congress, but unfortunately I will miss the weekend portion and can only attend Monday-Wednesday (11th-13th) because I work every weekend. Will anyone still be there during the week? I am hoping to connect with others!

[Sachi @thecrnaclub]

Hi! I plan to attend the Annual Congress as well. I would be glad to meet up with other RNs attending.

[Louise Pinheiro]

Would any of the females attending be interested in sharing a room for Annual Congress? It’s a way to meet new people and save money! And, I don’t know about all of you, but I am all for saving some $$$.

[Sachi Lord]

I will also be attending! I am super excited to see what its all about and to meet all of you! 🙂

[Sachi Lord]

Hey,
Just out of curiosity, when you pay for the conference; Assuming you paid for the full week are all the “additional activities” included with that rate? I’m quite confused. Can someone do a breakdown? I only intend to attend 1 day due to my work schedule so how does this work?
Thanks
