ER Update 2012 — Current Challenges in Emergency Nursing
6.58 CEs awarded for RNs and LVNs who complete the conference
Jan. 27, 2012 | 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The Emergency Department is an ever changing and challenging place. The patient population, equipment, protocols and standard procedures change on a daily basis. ER nurses treat a variety of ages, complications and cultural difference. They work independently and collaboratively to provide the greatest care to this very unique population.
ER Update 2012 — Current Challenges in Emergency Nursing is a chance for a group of health care professionals to get together to discuss changes in technology and learn how to better care for their patient population and encourage one another. Physicians, EMTs, Paramedics, PCTs and nursing students are all welcome to attend to the conference, but CNEs will only be awarded to RNs and LVNs.
Registration is open until Jan. 26, 2012 at noon.
