(Peachtree Community) The North Carolina law requiring evidence of continuing competence for all licensed registered nurses and licensed practical nurses becomes effective on July 1, 2006, with full implementation effective July 1, 2008.

The goal of continuing competence is to ensure, through the use of a reflective practice model, that North Carolina’s licensed nurses maintain essential skills, continue to add to their knowledge base, and become safer practitioners.

A workshop explaining the law and requirements in detail will be presented from 10:00 am until 11:00 am on Friday, March 3, 2006, in the Travis E. Green Conference Room at Murphy Medical Center.

This is a free workshop, but seating is limited. Call Monique Matheny, registered nurse and Murphy Medical Center’s staff education coordinator, at 828-835-3640 to reserve a seat.
