Conclusions:
Content and layout, use of color, imagery, and positive and negative space are crucial design elements. Poster presentation essentials include being prepared, professional appearance, and professional behavior.
Implications For Practice:
Designing and presenting a professional poster is an essential skill for all APRNs as the ability to communicate knowledge is central to the role.
