Poster Presentation Creation for Online Masters in Nursing Projects

 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.
