Canadian Doctoral Nursing Network Conference
Navigating Through your PhD Journey
June 4, 5, and 6, 2024
Welcome
The Canadian Doctoral Nursing Network Conference (CDNN) is only one of two conferences in Canada where Canadian and International nursing scholars engaged in doctoral work can come together to focus on their journey. The CDNN conference provides a safe place for doctoral students to “find their voice” and test out their ideas among their peers and with nursing faculty. Attendees are given the opportunity to present their research, engage in scholarly discussion and learn from each other and from faculty. There will also be three internationally recognized nurse researchers and scholars, as key note speakers to inspire and motivate attendees.
This conference is dedicated to bringing together many minds, unique in perspective but united in purpose to join together, to network and learn. To accomplish this, the conference is open to nurses and other disciplines engaged in doctoral studies at any stage in Canada and internationally. In the past we have had attendees from disciplines such as Nursing Education, Health Policy, Curriculum & Instruction, and Global Health. As well, attendees have come from all across Canada and internationally from United States of America, Iran and Australia to name a few.
This is a Remote Conference Hosted Online Through Zoom and Whova.

The keynote presentation inspired me to carry on my PhD journey.
I appreciated being scheduled in with another student who had a similar topic - we were able to connect, so helpful.
This was a fantastic experience! I hope to return again--it was inspiring and has given me a lot of great information and energy to continue on my PhD journey. Thank you!
outstanding; a wealth of information; wish I had come to this conference earlier on in my doctoral journey; this presentation would have helped with literature reviews
