Nursing Continuing Ed Survey from Pat Infield
- Download here
Pat writes: By now I'm sure most of you have heard
that the Nebraska Nurses Association is no longer
providing continuing education credits for nurses.
As a result, the Nebraska Dept of Health & Human
Services is in the process of becoming a Nursing
Continuing Education Provider Unit. As part of our
application process we are asking the APIC nurses
input for the needs assessment part of our business
plan.
Please take a few moments and complete the attached
one page survey and return it to me via e-mail. If
for some reason you can't e-mail the completed
survey you may fax it to (402) 471-6446. I'd like to
thank-you in advance for your help with this
endeavor.
