Student Vision Screening Certification Class (Live) 
This class meets criteria set by the new vision screening law. Held Sept. 5, 2014 from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., this live class will be taught by a certified Prevent Blindness Iowa trainer and will result in vision screening certification for the RN. The class will also include an “on site” practice session held in a local elementary school. The class is free but .45 CEUs are available for a fee of $15. Space is limited.
