Pre-Conference Sessions:
Keepin’ It Real! Practical Strategies to Improve Stroke Care Tuesday, April 29 from 1-5 PM $100 | 3.5 CEUs
All emergency nurses know of the NIHSS assessment… and many dislike it! That loathing is usually related to complex patient presentations, confusion around differences between scores, and uncertainty about implications of the score itself (i.e. why does it matter?). It is past time that real world strategies be shared for performing and using the score whether you see stroke patients every single day or only every few months.
This session will cover neuroanatomy, imaging in stroke, and a detailed step by step tutorial for performing and scoring the NIHSS…with NEW videos and examples of each score! Time-saving techniques and challenging patient assessments will be reviewed so you can better grasp the why, how, and when to use the NIHSS in the high acuity and insanely busy world that is emergency nursing.
Facilitator: Amanda Werner, BSN, RN, MEDSURG-BC, SCRN, ASC-BC (Stroke Program Manager)
Blown Out of Proportion: A Primer on Mechanical Ventilation Tuesday, April 29 from 1-5 PM $100 | 3.5 CEUs
This session is designed to appeal to nurses intending to enter the field of transport or those who want to expand their knowledge of a high acuity, low occurrence therapy. Presented in both a traditional didactic presentation and through medium fidelity simulation, patient ventilator management scenarios and strategies will be reviewed. Attendees will have the opportunity to make their own decisions regarding management with real time feedback both with hands-on ventilators and through computer-based simulation.
Facilitator: Zachary Kermitz, BSN, RN, CEN, CCRN, CPEN, CFRN
Attendees will need to bring a laptop computer for the session.
