As per the Kentucky Board for Nursing approval process, the following course is awarded 2.4 contact hours (50 minutes=1 contact hour). During the 2010 Kentucky Legislative Session, 314.073 Nursing Continuing Competency requirements were amended to include a requirement for all nurses to obtain education related to pediatric abusive head trauma or "shaken baby syndrome". By mandate, the Board is requiring all present and future licensees to complete a one-time training course of at least one and one-half (1.5) hours covering the recognition and prevention of pediatric abusive head trauma, as defined in KRS 620.020.
