Description
Do you remember the feeling you had when you received that very first COVID admission? The anxiety you felt when you were told you were deploying to work in the COVID unit?
I remember those early days of the pandemic very well. I imagine the experiences will be etched in all of our memories forever. These patients have been critically ill, some have died. They didn’t look that sick initially, and suddenly they deteriorated within hours.
Do you wonder if you should have done something different in caring for these patients? Would the outcome possibly have been different?
Now, more than ever, nurses working in high acuity areas (emergency departments, critical care, progressive care) need to rely on our credible knowledge base, expert skills, and our compassion to safeguard patient outcomes for critically ill patients in this new era of clinical practice. Nursing has been confronted with heavy workloads, fast changes in the workplace, ambiguity, fatigue, and a new disease process with a myriad of systemic complications that were unfamiliar to us.
Purchase now! I will provide you with confidence to rapidly assess your sickest patients, knowledge to implement COVID-19 evidence-based practice changes, and insight into what normalization will look like in healthcare. My training is filled with unforgettable patient case studies, reinforced with helpful mnemonics, and real-world clinical solutions. I guarantee you will experience dramatic practice changes when you work your next shift!
