Sara Schuh Child Abuse Conference

Hey guys, This is a very inexpensive and local conference if anyone is interested.  I have attended in the past and it was excellent.  We are not in a financial position to pay the conference fee or education leave, but thought it was a great opportunity to pass along....especially for those who need contact hours for RN III or certification. Thanks, Melinda
