ONA Convention and House of Delegates, May 17-19, 2022
The ONA Convention and House of Delegates will be held May 17-19, 2022 at the Hyatt Regency in Portland, OR. The theme for the convention is Stand Up, Rise Up, Celebrate! The Power of Our Profession. The convention will feature two days of continuing education sessions and one day of the ONA House of Delegates.
The past two years have been difficult for everyone, bringing new challenges at every turn, all while exacerbating many of the issues that nurses have been facing for years. The 2022 ONA Convention is an opportunity for leaders from across the state to come together to learn from these challenges, share our knowledge, and move the nursing profession forward. Together, we can stand up to employers who seek to put corporate profits ahead of those who are caring for the community. Together, we can rise up and build a better health care system that values caregivers and patients. Together, we can celebrate our victories, small and large, over the last two years as we continue to fight for a health care system that works for us, our colleagues, our patients, and our communities.
Join us for the ONA House of Delegates and two days of educational sessions that delve into topics such as equity in health care, racism as a public health crisis, building collective power, safe nurse staffing, and so much more.
