“I have worked emergency room for a number of years.  This seminar reinforces so many important points and knowledge I had forgotten.  I will definitely be a more effective nurse for my patients.”

“This class provided more in depth assessment skills and an extensive knowledge base that will help me to better critically think in the care of my patients.  I loved all the visuals of disease pathology and the EKG examples!”

“This was a wonderful class!  The topics were very relevant to rural hospitals and what is encountered by ED nurses and nurses on the floor.  The written material is exceptional and I learned a ton of information in two short days.”
