For the PD Nurse: Navigating Education and Development in a Virtual Environment

When it comes to training and education, it can often be challenging to find the right fit. We all have different learning styles and what may work for one person may not work for another. This webinar will describe different ways individuals learn and develop professionally and how to find the tools and resources that can help you get the most enriching experience.

During this time, you will have the opportunity to ask our panel questions and learn more about:
