Childhood cancer can make school a challenge.
Missed school days and cognitive late effects from treatment can make it difficult for our young patients and survivors to keep up with their peers. This virtual conference is aimed at helping teachers, school nurses and administrators learn about childhood cancer, common late effects and how to support patients, survivors and siblings in the classroom.
This virtual conference offers a certificate of completion that confers 5 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for teachers and 5 Contact Hours of Continuing Nursing Education (CNEs) for nurses upon completion of the course evaluation.* This conference is offered free of charge. *This continuing nursing education activity was approved by the Virginia Nurses Association, an accredited approver by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation. Awarding of CEUs is dependent on attendance at all six information sessions at the conference.
