The Indian Nurses Association of New York is offering a free continuing education webinar for registered nurses, featuring a presentation on hepatic steatosis and its complications.
The Indian Nurses Association of New York (INANY), a prominent organization dedicated to community health and nursing excellence, is set to host an educational webinar for registered nurses on Friday, March 6th, from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This initiative highlights INANY’s commitment to supporting lifelong learning within the nursing profession, as participants will earn one free continuing education credit.
The webinar will be led by Vinci Johnson, a Nurse Practitioner at South Shore University Hospital, who brings nearly twenty-five years of experience in various intensive care units. Johnson will address the important and clinically relevant topic, “From Hepatic Steatosis to Decompensated Liver Cirrhosis.”
Hepatic steatosis, commonly referred to as fatty liver disease, occurs when excess fat, primarily triglycerides, accumulates in liver cells. While this condition is often reversible, untreated fatty liver can lead to more severe health issues, including inflammation, cirrhosis, liver failure, and even liver cancer. During the session, Johnson will delve into the disease process, potential complications, and the latest scientific advancements in treatment. The goal is to provide nurses with enhanced clinical insight and increased confidence in managing patients with hepatic steatosis, ultimately aiming to improve patient outcomes and prevent the progression to advanced liver disease.
INANY serves the New York metropolitan area as a chapter of the National Association of Indian Nurses of America (NAINA), which works closely with the American Nurses Association (ANA)—the professional organization representing approximately five million registered nurses across the United States. In addition to offering continuing education programs, INANY is actively involved in providing nursing scholarships, organizing community health fairs, and leading charitable initiatives, such as back-to-school supply drives, food and clothing collections, and participation in blood donation campaigns.
