planning for a 1.8 contact hour CE offering on “Legislative Update” by Sheila A. Schuster,<br />

meetings and have been collaborating with the state KNA to send email notifications<br />
about meetings. Local nurses and students are invited to attend meetings. If interested in<br />
attending, please contact Teresa Williams (twilliamsrn01@yahoo.com).<br />
