Update: Child Abuse Education

The new law regarding mandatory continuing education of child abuse for health care licensee reporters in Pennsylvania will take effect in 2015. The Pennsylvania State Nurses Association (PSNA) has created resources for registered nurses in the Commonwealth. The PSNA Department of Government Affairs and the PSNA Department of Professional Development have partnered to create education for   licensed nurses as well as nursing students preparing to graduate. This education is currently under review for approval by the State Department but should be released by January 2015 when the new law takes effect. To learn more, contact PSNA Director of Professional Development Dr. Aislynn Moyer at amoyer@psna.org.
