Description
Nursing is so complex! And we need to be ready to adapt to any situation…such as floating to another unit, treating overflow patients that are not usually on our unit, responding to a totally unexpected patient situation and more! We still need to provide safe, quality care to all and transfer our nursing skills to different settings at any time! This conference will walk you through case-based presentations of a real-life day with scenarios of “what could possibly go wrong” when your day started perfectly! These case presentations will identify the evidence-based background needed for competent clinical practice, current up-to-date knowledge of the diagnoses, equipment, medications, and procedures.
