Title: Update from the 2016 Fall Institute for Psychiatric Advanced Practice Nurses (separate from CAPPN)

ONLINE REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN FOR THE 2016 FALL INSTITUTE - DEADLINE EXTENDED! Go to APPN Fall Institute - Home to register for the September 16-18 Fall Institute at The Village in Breckenridge. Because of the delay with establishing the registration and payment links to the new website, the deadline to avoid paying a late fee has been extended to September 4th for program reservation only. This has been updated in the attached reservation form, which can be printed and faxed or mailed. The deadline for guaranteed hotel reservations is still August 17th. Be sure to make your room reservation by August 17th to be guaranteed a room! The Village Hotel, 535 South Park Ave., Breckenridge, CO 80424. Reservations: 1-800-800-7829 and mention Group Code: BC0SP6 for the discounted rate. An updated registration reflecting the deadline extension and adding a credit card mail/fax option is attached.

If you have mailed your registration and have not received a confirmation email/receipt, please contact the treasurer at treasurer@appnfall.org or text/call Carolyn Dacres at 720-290-7895. You should receive a confirmation within one week after your registration is paid.

Remember to renew your CAPPN membership to receive a $40 discount on your tuition! There are some significant changes to the Institute this year. We have ended the program mid afternoon on Saturday to allow more time to network and relax for the remainder of the afternoon and evening. We are offering a discounted rate to retired APN's who no longer need CEU's, but want to stay in touch with former colleagues and friends! And....we are no longer including pharmaceutical sponsored meals as a part of the program (although there are optional meals that you may attend if you like; see attachments below with instructions for registering to attend). We will continue to have pharmaceutical and wellness exhibits to visit on breaks, located in separate rooms from the educational presentations and meals.

We have an outstanding line-up of speakers and topics this year:

CONFERENCE SPEAKERS AND T
John Derrick, MSN, CPNP-PC, MDiv: Autism, a Spectrum of Diversity
Christopher (Kip) Doran, MD: Mothers Little Helper Revisited: Benzodiazepines in 2016
