Effective Treatments for Opiod Use Disorders (All Nurses)

Continuing education webinars for all nurses developed by the APNA to provide needed knowledge and help answer the question, “What can nurses do?” to address the epidemic of opioid use and overdose in the U.S. Almost 4 million nurses can make a difference!
