'On the Edge' Conference Winds Down

By Joseph Hannan

The Plexus Conference, "On the Edge: Nursing in the Age of Complexity" is drawing to a close at Unity Village, Missouri. At this point, conference participants have had ample opportunity to take advantage of the beautiful facilities, thought-provoking presentations and engaging conversation.

This morning, MSN Mark Toles gave a presentation titled "Building Relationships to Improve Quality-Local Interaction Strategies." Toles is a doctoral candidate at Duke University and his presentation was a review of his innovative doctoral research.

The presentation was well received by conference participants. Toles fielded numerous questions.

Jim Begun also presented his findings from his "Wicked Questions" activity. His results were distributed and self-organized groups formed to review a particular category of "Wicked Questions" or any issue of their choice.

Here are some photos of the discussion groups:
