Anchors Aweigh - Case Managers Cruise Graphic

Many professional associations have discovered that cruise ships provide a fun and stimulating learning environment for their members. Every other medical specialty has a continuing education cruise but there was nothing specifically for case managers.   

We, at The Stay At Home Nurse proudly presents the First Ever Case Managers Cruise from Ft. Lauderdale on April 22 – 28th 2018 with the theme: Anchors Aweigh! We bring together industry experts, professionals and enthusiasts for 6 nights of fun, networking, and education while cruising the Western Caribbean.

Days at the sea will be spent obtaining up to 10 hours of continuing education (including the newly required CCM Ethics CE) for Social Work, Nursing, and CCM from a variety of case management experts and our superb speakers.

 OUR SESSION TOPICS

One of the definitions of the word anchor is provide a firm basis or foundation”. The topics for the CE sessions will be anchored in the fundamentals of case management that all case managers need to master regardless of their work setting; including communication, ethics, cultural diversity, end of life issues, the code of professional conduct, CM standards of practice, and legal aspects of case management.

THE COST

Having been to several conferences, we know the importance of networking with other case managers and how expensive it can be. The cost of the conference, transportation, hotel, and meals quickly reaches several thousand dollars just for one person. But with this cruise, we are able to offer lodging, meals, and entertainment for less than the cost of lodging alone at most national conferences. To keep the cost down we charge for the CE Sessions portion separately, so you can bring family and friends who want to join along for the cruise and they only pay for the cruise, but are welcome and encouraged to attend all other events.

Depending on the category of the cabin you choose, cabins range from $727 to $997 per person based on double occupancy. The cost to attend the CE Sessions is $347 per person attending. Due to limited conference room space, you must designate the name of all persons attending the CE sessions on the registration for to guarantee your spot.

FUN AND NETWORKING

Pulling up the anchor and leaving the safety of the harbor marks the beginning of the adventure. This is the beginning of our annual Case Managers Cruise.  

Our nights and ports of call will be spent networking, being entertained, exploring, shopping, relaxing or anything you want! We will share dinners together along with all of our family and friends at the 5:30 dinner seating. Here’s a taste of what you can expect from our Ports of Call.

Georgetown Grand Cayman

Compact and colorful, George Town is a glitzy hub for duty-free shopping on Grand Cayman and signature Caribbean experiences. Think boating, snorkeling, relaxing on a beautiful beach, or meeting friendly stingrays at a shallow sandbar.

Puerto Costa Maya Mexico

With sparkling sands and turquoise seas, Costa Maya is a relaxing destination where you can swim and sun, explore the coral reef offshore or Maya ruins in the jungle. The nearby fishing village of Mahahual is even more laid-back.

Cozumel Mexico

Cozumel features great diving, snorkeling and beaches, marine life encounters, botanical gardens, trails and shopping in the town of San Miguel. The nearby mainland is home to Tulum, Mayan cliffside ruins overlooking the Caribbean.

This cruise may just top your best vacation list… before you even get home!
