Legal Issues in Nursing Education

I am attending the Michigan League for Nursing conference in Detroit on Tuesday. Linda Christensen, R.N., M.S.N., J.D., who is the dean of Nursing for Clarkson College in Omaho, Nebraska and an attorney is speaking for a full day on legal issues in nursing education.

There are lots of legal issues in nursing education ranging from state board of nursing criteria for nursing education to providing student nurses with due process prior to expulsion from a program. I am looking forward the full day event.

Speaking of legal issues in nursing education, do you receive enough education in nursing school on the law, legalities, and legal issues associated with nursing practice?
