The students presented their posters and in addition, four of the NNP students won awards for their posters and were recipients of the Robert “Bob” Rogers Poster Session Grant Fund. Joy Adeku and Sarah Defore both won 2nd place and Anjavi Sharma and Amanda Williams both won 3rd place. The grant fund was established by FANNP after a FANNP conference honorary social host and greeter passed away. His wife Jacqui Hoffman wanted instead of flowers donations to support NNP students who present at the annual conference.

During the conference, the NNP students presented the following posters:

Joy Adeku and Sarah Defore- “Sudden CPAP Weaning Vs. CPAP Sprints in Preterm Infants”
 Gabrielle Perlewitz and Madeline McKinney- “Neurodevelopmental Implications Related to Racial Disparities in Human Milk Administration in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit”
Annie Westlund and Carly Wilkinson- “Identified Factors to Reduce Transfusion-Related Necrotizing Enterocolitis: A Systematic Review”
Anjavi Sharma and Amanda Williams- “Comparison of Humidified Vs. Non-Humidified Environment in Premature Neonates” 
Nancy Cassing and Nicole Gray- “Pharmacologic Approaches to PPHN Treatment: A Systematic Review”
Ashleigh Neverve- “The Impact of Racial Bias on Skin-to-Skin in the Neonatal and Maternal Recovery Period”
Kelly Keck and Rachel Carton- “Assessing Diagnostic Validity of Obtaining Complete Blood Count from Umbilical Cord Blood in the Detection of Early-Onset Sepsis: A Systematic Review”

Desi Newberry, DUSON associate professor, and director of the NNP program, said the students presented the latest science on improving health outcomes in various aspects of neonatal care to align with DUSON’s mission of advancing health equity and social justice. “I think this accomplishment speaks to the NNP program's commitment to scholarship as 100% of the students had their poster abstracts accepted. I think it also speaks to DUSON's commitment to creating nurse leaders as these students presented at a national conference,” Newberry said.
