The countdown clock is ticking. Texas Children’s Nursing will host its seventh virtual town hall from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, February 11, at the Pavilion for Women Conference Center.
Nursing has partnered with the Corporate Communications team to organize this event to engage our team of more than 3,700 dedicated nurses that make up Texas Children’s largest employee population.
Hosted by Chief Nursing Officer Mary Jo Andre’, the town hall will include a discussion of recent nursing accomplishments, our nursing priorities and system updates. The town hall will also include time for Q&A. Nurses watching the livestream remotely can participate in the Q&A session.
Attendees can submit questions during the Town Hall by going to www.slido.com and entering the event code TCH. We will respond to as many questions as time permits during the town hall. Any unanswered questions will be responded to via individual email or the “Ask the CNO” feature on the Voice of Nursing blog.
As always, patient care is our first priority, and we know not all nurses will be able to attend the live event or view the live stream. However, nurses can still participate by viewing the town hall on-demand. The link to the town hall recording will be available on Voice of Nursing.
