Live Seminar In Session : Live Seminar In Session Anneliese Garrison,RN BSN CLNC Has been helping students pass the NCLEX since 1997. The NCLEX is the National Council Licensure Examination and is required to practice nursing in the USA. Today’s Live Seminar is about delegating and prioritizing in a disaster.

HOW THIS WHITEBOARD WORKS : HOW THIS WHITEBOARD WORKS FIRST: this is totally interactive. You have the ability to chat in the chat room, talk on your mic or use the tools, [ located on the side of your screen ], to write or type on any of the materials that you see presented here. You can write, chat or talk at any time during this presentation. SECONDLY: unless you are talking, mute your mic because we all can hear you typing, coughing or laughing.
