This two yearly event took place at the Main Hall of the North West Regional Special Fund for Health Promotion within the confines of the Regional Hospital under the theme “Nurses Leading The Way To A Safe, Healthy And Peaceful World.” The two day event which ran from February 26th to the 27th was spiced by Scientific presentations and panel discussions that touched on ways of improving not only the conditions of practice of the nurse, but also encouraged the average Cameroonian Nurse to further empower themselves by furthering their education in Nursing to the highest possible levels.  In this vein, Professor Bih Mary Atanga of the Department of Nursery and Midwifery at the University of Bamenda said this was the only way to stop that condescending attitude that nurses always received
