Additional Notes:
AHS OR Nurse Educators have identified this mandatory AHS module on Laser Safety for anyone that is going to be in an OR theatre in which lasers are being used - predominantly Urology, Plastic Surgery and OHNS.   
This module takes about 15 minutes to complete with an exam at the end.  The OR Nurse Educators are keeping track of who has completed the module and exam.
