Some conferences leave you with pages of notes. Others leave you with something much more lasting.
That’s what happened at last year’s FNA Clinical Excellence Conference. Through powerful stories shared by nurses from across Florida, attendees were reminded why they entered the profession, reflected on their own experiences, and left feeling inspired to bring renewed purpose back to their patients and colleagues. This wasn’t simply a day of continuing education—it was an experience that stayed with people long after it ended.
One attendee shared, “This filled my nurse cup in ways I didn’t even realize I needed!”
Another simply wrote, “I left feeling renewed.”
The storytelling format created an atmosphere unlike a traditional conference. Rather than simply listening to presentations, attendees found themselves connecting with the experiences being shared, reflecting on their own practice, and leaving with a renewed sense of purpose.
That same spirit returns this fall.
On October 2 in Orlando, the 2026 FNA Clinical Excellence Conference will once again bring together nurses from across Florida to share real-life experiences that demonstrate the depth of clinical expertise, the power of clinical judgment, and the unwavering compassion that defines the nursing profession.
This year’s conference will feature compelling stories from nurses representing a wide range of specialties and practice settings. Through their experiences, attendees will explore how science, innovation, competence, and caring come together to improve patient outcomes every day. These stories go beyond clinical cases—they reveal the moments that challenge us, inspire us, and ultimately shape who we are as nurses.
Whether you’re a bedside nurse, educator, advanced practice nurse, leader, researcher, or student, you’ll leave with practical insights, renewed inspiration, and a deeper appreciation for the extraordinary impact nurses make every day.
Join us on October 2 as we celebrate the voices of nursing and discover how storytelling can fuel innovation, strengthen practice, and reconnect us with the heart of our profession.
