AARC Congress 2012: It's a Wrap!
The AARC’s 58th International Convention & Exhibition concluded earlier this week in New Orleans, and attendees left town with a wealth of information they can put to use back home. If you weren’t able to attend (or would just like to relive the experience), scroll through the great meeting coverage in our Online Congress Gazette. Here’s what you’ll find:

• Daily reports on Congress activities
• A Congress Scrapbook with pictures posted by attendees
• A Twitter feed with real time comments from those who were there
• A video of John J. Nance’s inspiring keynote address on patient safety
• A link to more great videos on our YouTube channel
