Nurses Expo 2024
Our Nurses Expo has been around for over 40 years! It ranks as one of Illinois’ longest-running nursing educational and networking events. It was the nursing community’s strong commitment to keep Nurses Expo going that led to the creation of Stateline Nurses Network after INA moved in a different direction from our group in the Northern Illinois area.
This year’s theme: Flourish – Bloom, Grow, Thrive – embodies the spirit of all Nurses!
Nurses Expo 2024 has a great slate of speakers lined up! With the return of breakout sessions, we will be able to bring a greater variety for attendees to choose from and we will have the required topics for relicensure covered!
Nurses from all practice settings and levels will be able to visit exhibitor booths from major health care employers, colleges and other local and regional businesses, network with friends and colleagues, receive a swag bag full of goodies, enjoy raffles, and a photo booth too!
Come once to Expo and you will want to return year after year. Stateline Nurses Network invites YOU to attend and see for yourself!
Registration for Nurses Expo 2024 will be open in early January. Stay tuned!

This opportunity is open to all nurses and nursing students.
