Agency Decision Summary |
At its meeting today, the Board of Nursing deliberated on the matter and decided to reject the request for an amendment. While all members support education in organ donation, it was their belief that there were more appropriate channels for such education, such as through staff training in hospitals and other health care entities in accordance with protocols for the institution. Further, educators commented that the subject is usually included in nursing education as part of training on transplant and other topics. |
