title: My abstract was accepted--now what? A guide to effective conference presentations.
abstract: Although conference presentations are central to the dissemination of new nursing knowledge, public speaking can be a daunting prospect. The purpose of this article is to provide nurses with the essential tools to deliver a successful conference presentation. Accordingly, the all-too-familiar steps of assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation provide an organizational framework for a practical guide to developing and executing a relatively stress-free, effective presentation.
