A link to access the on-demand activity will be emailed to all pre-registered individuals the week of February 17, so you can view the presentations at your convenience, anytime, anywhere.
2. Optional Capitol Experience: (one option for groups of students & faculty; one option for RN/APRN individual registrants)
