Hello all,
Please pass along. I don't believe you need to be a nurse to go to this.
Sign up deadline is tomorrow.
Blessings,
Marguerite

I'm kind of confused.  If tis is a discussion related to health, how can
fracking possibly have any positive health effects?  If not health, what
positive benefits could nurses have in mind?

*Nurses will Gather to Discuss Health Impacts of Natural Gas Drilling*

HARRISBURG - The PA State Nurses Association's (PSNA) Environmental Task
Force presents "Marcellus Shale: Unearthing Environmental Health Issues for
Nurses." This workshop will bring together healthcare professionals, nursing
students and academics to discuss and learn about environmental exposures in
our homes, workplaces and communities. The workshop will be held on October
7, 2011 at Wilkes University, Wilkes-Barre.


"This event will consider both the benefits and potential health hazards
from natural gas drilling. This is an ideal opportunity for healthcare
professionals to understand its role in our communities," stated the
Association's CEO Betsy M. Snook, MEd, BSN, RN. "How did Marcellus Shale
drilling impact a Bradford County farm? What does drilling entail? What is
the health of residents living around natural gas wells? Our expert
presenters will answer these questions and nurses, in turn, will be able to
educate their patients and members of the community on this growing
industry."


Topics will include benefits from procuring this resource, chemicals in our
soil and their correlation to health problems, and a report on a study of
mid-Appalachian women within the context of their environment. There is a
$50 non-student registration fee and a $25 student registration fee.
Registration is open through October 3rd. To learn more about the
Environmental Health Workshop or to register for the event, visit


*www.panurses.org/envtaskforce* <http://www.panurses.org/envtaskforce>.


Attendees can earn six contact hours for attending the complete day's
events. Additional hours may be awarded for a poster session.


PSNA recognizes that our October 7th Environmental Health Conference at
Wilkes University falls on Yom Kippur.  We would like to offer partial
contact hours for those needing to leave the conference early in order to
observe this holiday.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to
you or your family.
