Workshop C: Stay in the Classroom and Out of the Courtroom: Legal Best Practices for Nurse Educators

Wednesday, September 17  |  8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Never say never! As nurse educators, the thought of being sued may not be foremost in our minds, but legal issues can arise at any time. Faculty can best prepare themselves by having an awareness of potential issues and knowing what tools are available to manage them.

This workshop will examine the most frequent legal issues for academic nurse educators, from student issues to faculty issues, so faculty can feel empowered in taking charge of their classrooms and support others in doing the same. Topics will include due process issues, contract claims, grading issues, malpractice issues, and discrimination claims.

Don’t miss this exclusive session led by NLN’s own legal expert! Participants will leave this workshop with a blueprint for creating their own playbook to confidently manage legal issues.
