Kathleen Bartholomew, RN, MN
We are pleased to announce that Kathleen Bartholomew, RN, MN will be a keynote speaker at our 33rd annual conference, Holistic Nurses: Oceans of Possibilities, to be held June 5-8, 2013 in Norfolk, VA. Kathleen has been called the most important "new voice" in American Nursing. One of the nation's most sought-after nursing consultants, she is an expert on hospital culture and speaks internationally to hospital boards, the military, leadership and staff about safety, communication, cultural change and empowerment. In 2011, she received one of The Truth About Nursing's Top Ten Awards for "Nurses Advocating in the Media" for her efforts to advance the nursing profession. With her husband, John J. Nance, she recently co-authored, Charting the Course: Launching Patient-Centric Healthcare (2012). In addition, she has authored breakthrough professional books such as Speak Your Truth: Proven Strategies for Effective Nurse-Physician Communication (2005) and Ending Nurse-to-Nurse Hostility (2006). She has a passion for creating healthy work environments that focus on community and compassionate communication. Before turning to healthcare as a career in 1994, Kathleen held positions in marketing, business, communications and teaching. It was these experiences that allowed her to look at nursing from a different perspective and speak poignantly to the issues that affect nurses today. Today she is helping to change nursing by compassionately holding a mirror to the profession and exposing a century of hidden truths. Read more about Kathleen at www.kathleenbartholomew.com.
