As part of the Rheumatology Nurses Society’s ongoing efforts to provide timely, high-quality education to its members, we are partnering with the Institute for Continuing Healthcare Education to develop and distribute its award-winning Rheumatology Nurse newsletter as a direct link for our members.
Rheumatology Nurse is a CE-certified newsletter that is developed by rheumatology nurses, for rheumatology nurses. It debuted in 2008 and has been extremely well received in the rheumatology nursing community thanks to its professional look, style, and overall quality of content.
