abstract: Laser technology has made a significant impact on the nursing profession. Technology challenges traditional practices, and presents an array of new clinical therapies and associated hazards for both patients and medical personnel. Educational opportunities must be objectively evaluated if consumers are to obtain credible, valid, and effective training that will prepare them to comply with current standards and recommended practices.
