LIA Becomes Licensed Provider of Nursing Contact Hours
Orlando, Fla. - The Laser Institute of America (LIA) is pleased to announce it is now licensed by the California Board of Registered Nursing as a Continuing Education Provider of contact hours. This will serve as a benefit to all of the nurses that take LIA's Medical Laser Safety Officer courses or request the LIA provide in-service training on laser safety.
Registered nurses are required to document completion of continuing education courses as a way of supporting their continued competency to practice. The requirement is that RNs complete a minimum number of contact hours every two years in subjects relevant to the practice of nursing. Courses must be taken from providers approved by a state board of registered nursing.
The LIA already offers a complete line of laser safety training courses for personnel in research, industrial, and medical laser facilities. All of LIA's courses are based on the ANSI Z136 series of laser safety standards. Now as a provider of contact hours, LIA has greatly enhanced the value of all its products.
In addition, the LIA can also provide contact hours to other organizations for their medical training courses. For more information call 1.800.34.LASER/407.380.1553 or visit www.laserinstitute.org.
The Laser Institute of America is the professional society dedicated to fostering lasers, laser applications and laser safety worldwide.
