DeDee Culley, a nurse in Missouri, provides an example of how fast the cannabis nurse profession has grown.
Culley also said she has moved into telehealth to advise patients directly and is working on a four-part program for the Missouri Nurses Association to educate clinicians on medical marijuana.
Another example comes from Michigan, where the recently opened Hayat Provisioning dispensary in Oakland County north of Detroit has contracted with a nurse to work on staff, according to the Daily Detroit News.
That attitude, backed by extensive experience and education in nursing, has made cannabis nurses popular among cannabis consumers across the country.
