Volume 17│Issue 3│Winter 2025
On November 20, we hosted the 2025 Nursing Research Conference, Inspiring Minds to Advance Nursing Practice and Improve Outcomes. The day was a true celebration of the knowledge, curiosity, and dedication that define nursing at Carilion. Our keynote speaker, Brandon Jones, delivered a powerful and heartfelt message on Healing Our Healers, reminding us that caring for those who provide care is essential to delivering the best outcomes for patients. His passion for supporting both the nurse and patient experience resonated strongly throughout the room. We were in-
spired by the outstanding presentations from our nurses and research support teams, who shared meaningful studies and insights that advance our practice. While the focus was on substance over spectacle (no flashing lights or confetti), the impact of the work presented was undeniable. We are deeply thankful for the extraordinary community of nurses at Carilion. Your commitment to asking important clinical questions, pursuing evidence-based solutions, and improving the lives of those we serve is something to celebrate-not just at this conference, but all year long.
