The countdown clock is ticking. Texas Children’s Nursing will host its next virtual town hall from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 1. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there will be no live event at the Pavilion for Women Conference Center as we have done in previous years. The town hall will be hosted virtually via Microsoft Teams Live to keep everyone safe and to ensure we maintain social distancing.
Hosted by Chief Nursing Officer Mary Jo Andre’, the town hall will include a discussion of our COVID-19 response, nursing quality outcomes, Joint Commission plans, and system updates. Participants are encouraged to pre-submit their questions for the town hall by emailing it to info@voiceofnursing.org.
“With so many participants expected to attend the livestream, we will not be able to answer questions real-time via chat,” said Andre. “We will respond to as many pre-submitted questions as time permits during the town hall. All other questions will be responded to via email or “Ask the CNO” feature on the Voice of Nursing blog. Your feedback is critical to helping us enhance our processes and outcomes.”
As always, patient care is our first priority, and we know not all nurses will be able to participate in the virtual town hall livestream. However, nurses can still participate by viewing the town hall on-demand. The link to the town hall recording will be available on the Voice of Nursing blog the day after the event.
