Dr. DeLong conducted a fabulous session at our first-ever Statewide Nursing Symposium to address the nursing shortage in Connecticut! He clearly defined Lost Knowledge and illustrated its profound impact on the profession of nursing within the clinical and academic settings. He has the ability to communicate this information to the audience by using concrete examples; and he provided viable strategies and solutions for healthcare facilities and academic institutions that can be implemented in the short and long term to positively address this severe workforce crisis. Dr. DeLong far exceeded our expectations!
