The Nightingale Center for Nursing Scholarship (NCNS) was founded in 2000 as a resource for the faculty of the Fay W. Whitney School of Nursing, the UW College of Health Sciences, and the Wyoming Health Care community.

The NCNS mission is to promote the development, exchange, dissemination, and utilization of scholarship related to nursing and the human health experience. The NCNS activities focus on assisting scholars in evaluating, generating and disseminating evidence that focuses on improving health care by promoting Evidence Based Nursing Practice and Evidence Based Nursing Education throughout the State of Wyoming.

1. Here are some helpful links when you're ready to design your poster from The Scientist Magazine, Penn State University, North Carolina State University, and Eastern Kentucky University.

2. PRINTING a POSTER
   

   1. ON PAPER: UW campus in the Department of Animal Sciences (the fee is $50 and includes one draft as well as final glossy product) as well as the Geological Information Science Center (GISC; poster prices very depending on size).

   2. 8x11 pages:  Some researchers prefer to print their "poster" on numerous powerpoint slides and then tack them to the conference board.

   3. Cloth Poster (Iron and go!)  Another option is to print a cloth poster that can easily be folded in your suitcase and ironed before your session.  Cloth posters can be found here.

3. CARRYING the POSTER:  The UW Bookstore and Amazon both sell conference-poster tubes for carrying your poster to and from your conference/meeting
