The CNPS continuing education series continues with two webinars in September. Please note that registration is free for current CNPS members and nursing students.
Webinars are free for CNPS beneficiaries and nursing students. All webinars include live Q&A sessions and are listed in eastern time (ET).
1. Independent practice in the area of mental health
Are you considering becoming self-employed, or are you currently operating an independent practice in the area of mental health? This webinar will help you understand the different legal considerations when operating or practising within an independent practice or business and providing nursing services in the area of mental health. This webinar will also provide practical considerations to help manage potential risks, such as those associated with privacy, confidentiality, consent, capacity and virtual care.
2. Documentation: The nurse, the chart and the law
As fall starts up, we are once again bringing back our popular webinar on documentation. Properly documenting patient encounters is both a legal and professional requirement. And, it contributes to safe patient care and good clinical communications. Documentation, always been considered a critical nursing fundamental, has taken on greater importance in today’s ever-changing health-care landscape. Learn about how documentation might be used in a legal context.
