Thank you for joining Seattle Children's Center for Pediatric Nursing Research 2024 nursing ethics conference: Nursing Ethics: Today's Realities and Tomorrow's Challenges. This year, nurses, physicians, advanced care providers, social workers and ethicists discussed ethical complexities at the heart of the nursing experience.
