Continuing EducationTravelin’ Safe“More and more Americans of every age are traveling internationally. In the coming year, it is estimated that 40 million will travel including 8 million to developing countries. Some travelers will become sick and for every 100,000 going to developing countries for one month, as many as 75% will develop some illness and including traveler’s diarrhea.” This is a public health issue. Nurse practitioners need to take a leading role in the prevention of travel-related illnesses.
The continuing nursing education activities are approved by the Washington State Nurses Association, an accredited approver by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation. The Nurse Practitioner Healthcare Foundation thanks sanofi-pasteur for the educational grant for this project. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
