Changes are coming to the online courses! National Office staff is excited to announce that technological upgrades and new opportunities will soon be available to NAON members.
eCongress, a selection of 3 new courses, will be available to Congress registrants beginning in March. This selection of courses will be accessible online through the NAON Web site and will consist of 2 courses with a clinical focus and 1 course that provides an insider’s look at getting the most out of your Congress experience. Each participant will earn contact hours for completing each course. National Office staff will notify registrants when these courses are available in March.
Additionally, we are upgrading our online courses to reflect an easier user interface and better response time for NAON users. Beginning in June, most NAON online courses will be accessible directly through the NAON Web site at www.orthonurse.org and users will be able to print their own certificates immediately after completing the post-test. In addition, users will no longer need a separate access code or username and password to access the course!
We anticipate that these changes will make the online courses easier and more user-friendly for participants. Stay tuned for more information!
