SGNA is excited to introduce a fun and innovative way to earn 3 contact hours! The SGNA Crossword Puzzles: Gastroenterology Nursing: A Clinical Review offers individuals the opportunity to participate in a learner-directed activity that will provide 3 contact hours upon successful completion. Each crossword puzzle consists of 20 clues and contains the following content: Definition of Terms, Intravenous Therapy, Manometry, Nutritional Therapy, Pharmacology and Pulmonary Procedures and Medications. Once all six puzzles are completed just send in the puzzles along with the provided SGNA Cover Sheet to SGNA Headquarters where they will be graded. If a passing score is achieved (80%) a contact hour certificate will be sent to you. In the event an 80% score is not achieved you will have two more opportunities to successfully complete the puzzle(s). This exciting new activity can be purchased for a member price of $60 or a non-member price of $90 through the SGNA Marketplace at www.sgna.org or you can place your order over the phone by calling 800/245-7462.
