Public Safety & You: Protecting Patients from Harm
2.0 contact hours – November 14, 2025 – November 30, 2027
Nurses are aware of the state licensure requirements for the state of Michigan, but some may not be aware of professional violations which could impede their ability to continue practicing. Medication errors, not meeting state continuing education requirements, missed care, substance misuse, are variables that can result in disciplinary actions against a registered nurse’s license, and it is important that nurses are aware and are able to access tools available to them in order to continuing providing safe patient care. The goal of this activity is to increase participants knowledge on the Michigan Public Health Code, licensure process, and emphasize the importance of practicing within their scope of practice.
Learning Activity Objectives:
- Describe the LARA organizational chart
