15th Annual Neuroscience Nursing Symposium

The 15th Annual Neuroscience Nursing Symposium is a prominent one-day conference that takes place every November, offering updates on the latest advancements, evidence-based treatments, and specialized practices in the field of neuroscience nursing. Established in 2010 by Amy Eisenberg, MSN, ARNP, CNRN, who serves as the program director and a nurse practitioner at the Pacific Neuroscience Institute, the symposium has steadily expanded its reach and influence.

Initially focused on Providence Saint John’s Health Center, the event has grown to attract participants from hospitals across the region. It brings together expert speakers from the Brain Tumor and Pituitary Disorders Centers of Excellence, who share insights on various aspects of managing complex neurological conditions, particularly brain and pituitary tumors.

A distinctive feature of the symposium is its emphasis on the critical role of neuroscience nursing in patient care. It highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary, team-based approach in neurosurgery and neuro-oncology, with specialized nurses playing an essential role in the recovery and rehabilitation of patients. Through this collaboration, the symposium underscores the value of advanced nursing expertise in improving patient outcomes in these highly specialized fields.
