  • Did you know 70% of children with ADHD have undiagnosed sleep disorders?
  • Did you know snoring causes right sided heart failure?
  • Did you know that MDs only receive a total of 3.4 hours of training about sleep in medical school? How many classroom hours did you get in NP school on sleep?
  • Would you like to learn more about how sleep affects every one of our patients!

If you’d like to learn more about sleep and its associated disorders, then NTNP invites you to join us at our 2017 NTNP CE Conference…………

COME SLEEP WITH NTNP: BETTER SLEEP = BETTER HEALTH

Sleep disturbances are often missed in many of our clinic visits. This can lead to health consequences among patients and also can affect their performance, safety, and pocketbooks. Your patients are counting on you to not misdiagnose sleep disorders. So come join NTNP to learn about sleep disorders and their appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

THIS CONFERENCE WAS APPROVED FOR 11 CEs (Friday & Saturday) OR 8 CEs (Saturday only).  IN ADDITION, 3.5 PHARMACOLOGY HOURS WERE APPROVED FOR THOSE ATTENDING (Friday & Saturday).
