There can be constant questions and confusion from patients and clients about low- and no-calorie sweeteners (LNCS). How do I use them? Are they all the same? How do I know they are safe? How do LNCS impact my health?

LNCS are being used more widely as new food, beverage, and supplement products are innovated. Consumers are seeking the help of healthcare professionals to determine the difference between eye-catching headlines and evidence-based science. Healthcare professionals have an opportunity to help their patients and clients make informed decisions about what LNCS are the best for their overall health and well-being.

Join Dr. Wendy Wright, nurse practitioner, explore LNCS safety and regulation, options, and trends, and ways your patients can use LNCS to achieve their health goals. Learn More…

After completing this activity, healthcare professionals will better be able to:


Summarize why LNCS are a safe and effective replacement for added sugar.
Explain how LNCS are regulated and differentiate between different types of LNCS.
Interpret the body of literature related to the safety and efficacy of LNCS.
Demonstrate appropriate uses of LNCS as a substitute to added sugar.

Nurses always have been…and will continue to be…at the forefront of healthcare. Pandemics, increased healthcare needs, and lack of resources have resulted in serious consequences for the nursing workforce, including staff shortages, compensation inequities, unrelieved moral suffering, burnout, and collective grief. The public, and by extension healthcare leaders and organizations, may assume that nurses will continue to serve — regardless of the circumstances — believing that their commitment to patients will take precedence over their own welfare and that they will continue to fill the gaps in stressed or dysfunctional systems. Now is the time for nurses to stand tall and proud for what they contribute to the nation’s health. Join us to learn how to share the value of your professional expertise and build a better future for nursing. Learn More…

In this webinar, you’ll learn:


how all nurses have the opportunity to reshape the perception and image of nursing. We’ll follow the journey to where we are as a profession and what we can do about it.
empowering language to help educate patients and the general public so they better understand nursing competence, knowledge, clinical judgement, and innovation.
actions all nurses can take to help re-imagine nursing’s relationship with the public as a social covenant rather than a social contract.
