  1. Hello Mr. Wilson,

    I met you in Pictou in the fall of 2019 at the Lyme presentation by Dr Ross and Dr DuBocq.

    Can RNs also attend the ILADS conference?

    I am going to earn a Masters in Nursing in order to become a Nurse Practitioner (who is able to prescribe Rxs) as soon as I have worked 5000 hours as an RN.

    Thanks,
    Madi Sutton
