Neuro for Non-Neuro Nurses 3

Neuro for Non-Neuro Nurses: 

• I think my patient might be having a stroke - who do I call? 
• What do I do with an Aspen collar?
• What's the best way to perform and document a neuro assessment quickly and thoroughly?
• My patient had a seizure - now what?

Nurses from the acute neuro units at Foothills Medical Center want to help you get to the bottom of these neuro questions! 

This day is an intimate and informative educational opportunity for nurses who work in non-neuro areas but may encounter neuro patients in their practice. Sessions will be facilitated by expert neuro nurses, practicing in acute neuro at FMC. The focus will be on adult care, but pediatric nurses may find benefit in the content as well, and are welcome to register.

Your registration includes coffee and refreshments in the AM.  Please bring a water bottle as FMC no longer provides cups at the water dispensers.

The agenda for the day will be posted when it is finalized. Start and end times are subject to change.
