Patient safety is of primary importance within health-systems; however, medication errors continue to occur at an alarming rate. Regulatory and accrediting organizations have developed standards addressing medication safety; yet, additional focus should be achieved to minimize if not prevent errors. This is a four-hour program that will provide nurses with an overview of strategies and initiatives to enhance medication safety particularly on high alert medications (HAM). Additionally, this program will identify high alert medications and processes prone to error and describe how medication infusion technologies may help prevent those errors.

With the rapid advancement of nursing practice and massive use of highly technical machines, the nursing profession continues to keep pace with a market of a driven health care system that requires increasingly complex nursing care. These procedures are most common to Patient’s with respiratory problems.   More so, nurses must able to be familiar with these procedures to be able to cope up with the diverse needs of its patients with respiratory needs.   This 3 day program with lecture and workshop will be done to enhance nurses’ knowledge and skill as they care for patients with respiratory problems.

Nursing procedures are constantly changing this is due to never ending discoveries in best-practice health care methods. As nurses we want to ensure that our knowledge and skills in nursing procedures are always updated. We can read a lot of them and have the knowledge but it is different if we have developed a certain level of skills acquisition, particularly in this time of new technology. For this reason CCNAPI is offering a course focusing on common nursing procedures. This is a two-day workshop for nurses that will allow skills development on the common nursing procedures through hands-on opportunity guided by preceptors in a simulated environment.    

The PITFALLS IN RESUSCITATION is a 16 hours course that will help nurses acquire advanced scientific knowledge, skills and attitude (KSA) with the necessary courage to render the appropriate interventions at the given specific time during resuscitation. Every action and intervention should be based on the protocols, algorithms and evidence - based practices. However, there are occasions during resuscitation that unintentionally lead to gaps or pitfalls. Hence, this seminar will focus on the common breaks in protocol that can decrease the success of a resuscitation process. After the course, the participants shall:

1. Comprehend the different physiological events that leads to resuscitation
2. Understand the ILCOR AHA Guidelines of Resuscitation
3. Describe the Phases of Arrest
4. Learn the technique of Team Dynamics
5. Enumerate events that will lead to pitfalls during a resuscitation

This eight- hour program is designed to provide nurses with concepts relevant to performing a comprehensive neurological assessment in any given setting and in their care of any type of patient. Neurologic assessment will not just take place in neurological units and the Emergency Department. Likewise, a patient who doesn't have a neurologic diagnosis may also require a neurological assessment; for example, a patient with pneumonia can develop neurologic changes due to hypoxia or a post-op patient may have a neurologic deficit due to blood loss. No matter what setting the nurses work in, they will have to perform a neurologic assessment at some point. The purpose of this program will center not only how to perform a solid neurologic assessment, but also how the nurse can tailor the assessment to any given situation Approx. 8 CEU Exact credit units upon approval of PRC
