Paul Langlois, Cheryl Herrmann & Cyndi Zarbano – Advanced Assessment & Diagnostic Skills Certificate Course
A minor change in vital signs… a skipped heartbeat… the feeling that something doesn’t look or sound right — it’s critical to know ALL of the clues signaling that a patient is decompensating.
It can be challenging to pick up on subtle clues from patients. And if you can’t quickly identify the true concerns and initiate the appropriate interventions, your patients — and your job — is at risk.
No matter how many years you have been in nursing, NOW is the time to master assessment techniques!
This NEW step-by-step advanced skill training combines our decades of nursing experience and was designed with you in mind – a hard-working nurse, committed to giving the best to patients.
With exciting patient case studies, reinforced with helpful clinical mnemonics, we give you real-world solutions and teach you how to respond to patients with skill and confidence as you integrate sound critical thinking and clinical decision-making in your day-to-day work.
Experience dramatic changes in your own practice — as soon as your next shift!
