When an abstract is accepted for
“poster presentation”, prepare a professional poster, using a power point template
(see website below). Typically the dimensions for a Poster presentation are 36x48
inches, but the conference submission guidelines for posters will provide the
exact size required.
Poster Information included is
below. You can use these headings even
if your abstract is not necessarily a study, but is a project (for project
ideas see blog from 9-24-13)
Introduction
Objectives
Methods
Results
Discussion
Conclusion
References
You may also want to “insert”
some appropriate clip art or other graphic, such as a chart or photo if these
fit on the poster. {Go to the
website: MakeSigns.com. This company is
located in a suburb of Chicago, but they print and ship posters nationwide.
http://www.makesigns.com/SciPosters_Home.aspx Be sure to order the poster size required by
the conference, as the template is 36 x 48 inches (3ftx 4 ft.) is only a guide.
The website has free down loadable power point templates to use to create your
poster presentation. Be sure to allow
enough time for creating and producing and shipping the poster for the
conference date.
Conference presentations, either
at a podium or through a poster, are a great way to disseminate nursing knowledge. Submitting an abstract of your work is an
excellent way to network for future career opportunities during a conference
once you complete your online MSN degree.
