"Grateful for the opportunity to attend the Fall 2026 Acute Care Symposium, hosted by the AACN San Fernando Valley Chapter!
One of my key learning highlights was gaining a deeper understanding of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) and Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT), including clinical indications, treatment modalities such as CVVHDF, and monitoring and troubleshooting techniques like differentiating filter clotting from clogging.
Beyond the sessions, I especially enjoyed connecting with experienced nurses and members of the Cedars-Sinai team. I truly appreciate everyone who took the time to share their experiences, insights, and career advice. These conversations made the day even more meaningful!
Even before beginning my formal critical care coursework, I’m grateful for opportunities to gain insight into the complexities of critical care nursing, expand my knowledge beyond the classroom, and build meaningful professional connections.
Thank you to the AACN San Fernando Valley Chapter, the speakers, and everyone I had the pleasure of meeting!" - Ami Lenaga (BSN student) via LinkedIn
