An International Centre for Nursing Ethics (ICNE) Conference at Yale University School of Nursing, New Haven, Connecticut USA July 17-19, 2008.
ICNE conferences stress interaction, networking and discourse, and so, our concurrent sessions are conducted as discussions of topical papers. Prior to the sessions the papers will be distributed to those participants who have indicated an interest. In the session, authors will make a brief presentation of their papers (about 5 minutes). A discussion will then be moderated among the participants.

The deadline for submission is 23 February 2008. Notification of review results will be sent by 15 April 2008. Full papers should be received by 30-May-2008. Topics may include:
