The presenter, Cathy White, is an RN, MSN, JD. It was an all day seminar & I learned things I never knew even though I have almost 35 years of nursing experience. The seminar is offered through Southwest Seminars Association, P.O. Box 890228, Houston, TX, 77289. Their phone number is (281)996-5355 & the website is www.southwestseminars.com. I think the cost was around $75 but I believe you can order her guides from the website.Hope this helps!
