Day 1 of our Annual Critical Care Symposium was a success!👏

We kicked things off with a full day of learning, collaboration, and inspiration—featuring a wide range of expert speakers and impactful sessions covering everything from sepsis, CRNA schooling, and ECMO to ethics, leadership, and critical care innovation.

With roughly 200 attendees, the energy in the room was unmatched. Thank you to everyone who showed up ready to learn, connect, and elevate the standard of care.

Can’t wait to see what Day 2 brings 💙❤️

So proud of what our Dallas AACN crew accomplished last night at Feed My Starving Children 💙 Our team showed up and packed 27,864 meals in under 2 hours, giving 76 kids a daily meal for a year 🙌 A reminder that a little time can make a huge difference.

Had an incredible evening diving into Therapeutic Wound Care with our chapter! 🩺✨

A huge thank you to for hosting such an informative presentation about wound care with Vashe and to Dallas County Chapter members for showing up engaged and ready to learn. The discussion on evidence-based wound cleansing and bedside application was insightful and relevant to our ICU practice.

We’re also grateful to III Forks for the beautiful setting and hospitality that made the evening even more special.

Education, collaboration, and great company — that’s what our chapter is all about 💙❤️ CriticalCareNurse
