Addictions Nursing Educational Resources for Training
This collection of addictions nursing resources was created during a 15-week course jointly provided by the University of Washington, Washington State University and the Washington State Department of Health. The course content is being offered free of charge to healthcare professionals who wish to learn more about addictions nursing, prepare for certification or educate staff. Any and all of the material is provided for distribution and modification by faculty to continue training the Washington State workforce. The goal is to provide updated information that nurses and their care teams can use to reduce risky use of substances, including opioids, tobacco, alcohol, methamphetamine, and other substances of abuse.
