NFRMC Skills Fair contact and event info The purpose of the Skills Fair is for Critical Care staff to gain knowledge from several vendors on current topics and skills. Hospice will be represented for organ and tissue donation, the Sage rep is coming to present oral care for the prevention of HAP, VAE, ect, The Hospira and ABIOMED reps will be there as well. We hope to have approx. 20 booths for vendors. There will be tables and chairs with a fall theme provided. The hours will be from 6am until 7 pm. If you wanted to set-up an area with a poster presentation and applications we would appreciate that as well but I was really hoping for some face-time to encourage membership. We have several nurses that are very young in their careers that haven't yet noted the benefit of membership in the AACN.
