GETTYSBURG – “What’s New in Neuro Nursing?” is the subject of a day-long conference for nurses this fall at HACC-Gettysburg Campus.

The conference will be held from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 12, in The Robert C. Hoffman Community Room (130) at the campus, 731 Old Harrisburg Road. The cost is $69 and includes continental breakfast and lunch.

“We are hoping area nurses will take advantage of this local offering,” said Marilyn Teeter, campus director of nursing at HACC-Gettysburg Campus. “It will be a great opportunity to hear about new approaches to nursing care for individuals with neurologic disorders, as well as a chance to ask questions to better understand trends.”

Sponsored by the campus Nursing Leadership Council, the conference will cover traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries; describe up-to-date nursing care and pharmacologic therapy for chronic and degenerative brain disorders such as Parkinson’s and dementia; and identify current therapies for stroke and tumor patients.

Attendees may use this conference to meet the continuing education requirements for license renewal by the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing.
