PCNA 14th Annual Symposium - Download Center
|
Welcome to the new PCNA download center. On this site you will be able to download the following files from the 14th Annual Symposium, held April 24-26, 2008 in Orlando, FL:
1. Speaker slides (pdf)
2. Syllabus handouts (pdf)
3. Audio recordings (MP3)
CE Credit:
If you were unable to attend the sessions at this year’s Symposium, you may still earn CE credit by reviewing the slides & handouts and listening to the audio recordings.
Instructions:
1. Make sure you have the adequate software and internet connection to view the pdfs and listen to the MP3 audio files. We recommend a combination of three free software programs: Mozilla FireFox 2, QuickTime 7, and Acrobat Reader 8 – links to free downloads are provided below.
2. LOG IN to the PCNA website or create an account. If you're already logged in, click here for the download center.
3. Download desired pdf files and listen to audio recordings
4. Print your certificate of completion on which you can keep track of the sessions you completed
Internet Connection & Software Requirements:
A high-speed internet connection is required to listen to the MP3 audio recordings. A dial-up internet connection will not be adequate. Even with fast connections, it may still take several moments for the audio to load and begin.
