Human Papillomavirus is the most common STI.  Many young people become infected

Some people are infected with the virus, but  never develop signs and symptoms and
do not know they have HPV. Come learn about HPV and vaccination efforts to prevent its spread.

Dahle (R) Guts AB1722: LVNs as School Nurses-CSNO awaiting new language. 

CSNO is pleased to share that AB 1722 (DAHLE), which would have allowed LVN's to practice as school nurses has been gutted.
CSNO has been actively advocating against this bill. As such, CSNO sent letters of opposition unless amended were sent to
Assembly Education Committee and Business and Professions Committee members, the California Board of Registered Nursing
and BVN & PT Boards. On Wednesday March 15, CSNO met with the BVN & PT Board to discuss AB 1722 with consensus to oppose.
The California Board of Registered Nursing voted March 16 to oppose the bill and mentioned during the meeting the receipt of a letter
from CSNO requesting an oppose position.  

After multiple attempts, CSNO was finally able to schedule a meeting with Dahle's staff member on March 16. It was during this meeting
that CSNO learned the Bill has been gutted. New language for AB 172 was supposed to be proposed on  Monday, March 20, 2023. CSNO was able
to share concerns as well as offer language for the new Bill. CSNO will await for new Bill language prior to removing it's oppose stance. CSNO is still waiting for the language on the bill. Thank you to all of those individuals that have submitted letters.

Topics:  
Getting Along: How to Work with Anyone (Even Difficult People); Author Speaker Coach Amy Gallo; 
Book will be provided to conference attendees.

 Policy Statement

AAP Policy Statement on Off-Label Medication Use
The American Academy of Pediatrics has a position statement on the use of off-label medication use with children. The purpose of off-label use is to benefit the individual patient. Practitioners use their professional judgment to determine these uses. As such, the term “off-label” does not imply an improper, illegal, contraindicated, or investigational use. Therapeutic decision-making must always rely on the best available evidence and the importance of the benefit for the individual patient.
