The Organization for Associate Degree Nursing (OADN) proudly invites you to submit an abstract for the 2025 OADN Convention, taking place November 13 – 15, 2025, at the Renaissance Nashville Hotel in the heart of Music City. This premier national conference brings together nursing educators, administrators, and industry professionals to explore groundbreaking ideas and shape the future of Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) education. This year’s theme, "Elevating Nursing Education: Embracing Change, Strengthening Community," reflects the rapidly evolving landscape of nursing education and the critical role of collaboration, resilience, and innovation in ensuring student and faculty success.

General Information on the Submission Process
  1. The call is for 50-Minute podium presentations. Please plan to allocate a portions of this time for questions and/or activities.
  2. A maximum of four (4) presenters will be considered with your abstract submission. The primary presenter will be the main point of contact for all communication with OADN and is responsible for ensuring that co-presenters complete necessary action steps in preparation for the convention.
  3. OADN requires all presenters to identify any existing or potential conflicts of interest related to the content to be offered (e.g., commercial interest, affiliation with a vendor, and/or receipt of royalties) and affirm that their abstract presentations will not be used to sell a particular product or service.
