Please make plans to join us in Chicago, May 3-8, 2008 for the 35th annual National Teaching Institute & Critical Care Exposition - the one educational conference you'll want to attend this year!

NTI is the world's largest educational conference and exposition focused on acute and critical care nurses. NTI is appropriate for bedside nurses, nurse educators, nurse managers, clinical nurse specialists and nurse practitioners who care for patients who are acutely or critically ill.

Take advantage of this great opportunity to network with your peers while earning CE credits from a diverse selection of educational presentations. You will even be able to take review courses and sit for exams for your specialty (CCNS, CCRN, PCCN) or subspecialty (CMC, CSC) certifications. It's all here at NTI!
