Looking Back: Nursing Forward
Purpose
The purpose of the BNI Nursing Symposium is to provide an educational

Program Objectives
Describe essential components of resilience, optimism, and nursing
leadership.
Identify key diagnostic markers found in neuroimmune disorders.
Explain the methods of diagnosis and treatment for neurological and
neurosurgical illness and injury.
Discuss innovative ways to share information and provide education for
patients and families.
Discover the challenges and the celebrations of the patient with neurological
illness or injury.
Compare and contrast national and international neuroscience nursing and
patient safety concerns.
