Free Webinar: Forensic Injury Assessment-Taking
a BALD STEP Forward (Sept 8, 2010- 11 am EST)
The Forensic Nurses' Society of Canada will be offering a free

The BALD STEP components will be described along with ideas
for how to easily integrate it into raumagrams and assessment
documentation. Registration is free.
