The American Association of Nurse Attorneys (TAANA) is sponsoring a teleseminar, Criminalization of Medical Errors on Tuesday, April 10, 2007 from 1pm-2pm EST. The seminar will provide an overview of the Wisconsin case where a RN was charged criminally for a medical error that resulted in patient death.
The presenters are Linda Dawson, Esq., who is the general counsel for the Wisconsin Nurses Association and Gina Dennik-Champion, R.N., M.S.N., executive director and lobbyist for the Wisconsin Nurses Association.
For additional information about the teleseminar see www.taana.org or call 1-877-538-2262.
Criminal Law 101 is a new category on this blog which is unfortunately necessary given the complexity and interplay of criminal, civil, employment (workplace), and administrative (state licensure, national certifications, National Practitioner Data Bank, Healthcare Integrity & Protection Data Bank, etc.) law and legal issues for nurses.
My consulting firm submitted several applications for CE hours last month. One of the courses is Alphabet Soup: Administrative, Business, Civil, Constitutional, Criminal and Employment Law for Nurses.
