Calling all our neuroscience colleagues! Just a reminder that there is a great upcoming meeting in Manchester England in March 2019. Hosted by BANN, EANN and SBNS, this conference looks like a show-stopper! let alone visiting the great city of Manchester.
Abstract deadline is December 2018. Don't be left out! Check out the site: www.neuro2019.org

Well the fall colours in Canada have arrived and leaves are starting to fall off the trees. The mornings are cool and crisp, the afternoons warm and sunny..... I am looking forward to the upcoming WFNN Regional meeting in Toronto Canada. We have a great set of speakers lined up, including our fantastic President Christi DeLemos. Neal Cook is coming from the UK to talk about the doctoral thesis work in the GSC. Charmaine Arulvarathan from CANN has done an outstanding job keeping us on track. Thanks to the CANN team for their great work and dedication to neuroscience nursing. Toronto welcomes Christi and Neal to this great cultural city, even if for a short time.

Elizabeth Naigaga was an inspiration to so many nurses in Uganda! She paved the way as a nursing champion to become the head nurse of the first ICU at Mulago National Referral Hospital in Kampala, Uganda. Despite low resources and limited personnel, she improved care in the pediatric intensive care unit and developed a high dependency unit for the neurosurgical patient.
In 2013, Elizabeth traveled to Gifu, Japan and presented at the 11th Quadrennial WFNN Congress. Elizabeth was the first representative from Africa to attend the WFNN meeting. Elizabeth demonstrated incredible clinical, mentoring, and leadership skills which has helped to transform the Mulago ICU into an exemplary unit. She died yesterday in Uganda from cancer but she will be remembered for her dedication and pioneering work to change lives, inspire hope and improve neuroscience nursing.
Elizabeth's passion to change the world she lived in will be honored by a creating a scholarship fund in her name to benefit an African nurse with limited resources to attend an international nursing conference with WFNN, NCS or AANN. We will miss you Elizabeth!

Nurses from across the US and abroad converged in San Diego, California to celebrate the 50th anniversary of AANN. In 1968, visionary leader Agnes Marshall Walker formed an organization of specialized neuroscience nurses with a typewriter, a few dollars and unlimited determination. Now 50 years later, AANN has more than 5000 members and the celebration and commitment to neuroscience nursing continues.
