Cardillo is Keynote Speaker at American Nurses Association Convention

Donna Cardillo, RN, MA was the closing keynote speaker at the American Nurses Association 2002 Biennial Convention. Approximately 1,500 attended the convention, held in Philadelphia in July. Ms. Cardillo delivered a rousing presentation entitled “Success is a Journey Not a Destination.” The program, one of Cardillo’s most popular, provides strategies for creating professional momentum in order to move in a positive forward direction, even if you’re not sure where you’re headed. “We often get stuck in a rut and don’t move forward because of self-doubt, imagined obstacles, or fear of change” says Cardillo. She was also on hand to do a book signing for her best selling book “Your First Year as a Nurse” from Crown Publishing, a division of Random House.

Ms. Cardillo is president of Cardillo & Associates, Professional Development Seminars located in Sea Girt, NJ. She is a columnist for Nursing Spectrum, a Gannett company, where she is known as “Dear Donna.” Donna is the country’s leading expert on non-traditional career opportunities for nurses and has been referred to as the “guru of career development for nurses.”
