Designed exclusively for working nurses from LPNs to Advanced Practice Nurses, the CNCP is an evidence-based, holistic journey into the realm of the Endocannabinoid System (ECS).Graduates receive 72 hours of continuing nursing education units (CEUs) through the Integrative Nurse Coach Academy. All the lectures are pre-recorded so you can study when it’s convenient for you, but with assignments due at the end of each week, you’ll have plenty of interaction with your peers and your instructors to make sure you’re learning what you need at each stage of the process.Not only will you learn about cannabinoids (such as THC & CBD), cannabis, its many routes of administration, and dosing strategies, you will also learn ways to support the body’s master regulatory system using holistic modalities and lifestyle medicine.You’ll learn about the ECS, medical conditions for which cannabis has shown to be effective, adverse reactions to cannabis, the ugly history of prohibition, why social justice issues are especially important in this field, and how to remain up-to-date on the ever-growing body of evidence. And while most of our students have said reading research articles is not their favorite pastime, they have consistently commented on how well-prepared they are to read and evaluate the evidence after taking this course.If you want to deeply understand the Endocannabinoid System and empower your patients using medical cannabis, this course will give you all the tools you need. Through evidence-based study, personal reflection, interesting case studies, and class discussions, you will gain the knowledge and skills to safely guide and empower medical cannabis patients.More information on the program, scholarships, and payment plans can be found at inursecoach.com/CannyNurse Show less
