Pharmacology Hours for Nurses at HFSA Meeting

For Nurses who require pharmacology hours for their certification or licensure renewal, this year the HFSA Annual Scientific Meeting offers opportunities to accrue these hours.

Here are some sessions offered:

Sunday, September 17, 2017
10:30 AM – 12:00 PM

For those certified with ANCC and interested in obtaining pharmacology hour credits, 60 minutes of pharmacology content equal one contact hour.

Please keep the conference agenda pertaining to the pharmacology session and keep on file for future reference. This may be submitted and serve as evidence to validate the contact hour calculation. A narrative note describing pharmacology content within agenda may be necessary to validate content. Pharmacotherapeutic content does not need to be presented by a nurse for the hours to be eligible for re-certification; however, the presenter must have content expertise in pharmacology.
