"The OHSU Online Pain Management Course was very informative and well worth my time, as well as being required for licensure.  I am an experienced nurse and keep up on pain management information for my job. However, there is a lot of new information useful to nursing care of patients. I learned a great deal from the OHSU pain management course for my practice and appreciate the convenience in taking it online."
