Pediatric This workshop is designed to lead participants in
a comprehensive airway immersion experience. The workshop will be
led by expert instructors and will focus on critical knowledge
enhancement, decision making and technical skills. Participants will
receive special instruction in the pediatric airway, the trauma
airway, difficult airway situations, and rescue/salvage airway
techniques. Airway management is the most important § Combitube § LMA § Needle Cricothyrotomy § Percutaneous Cricothyrotomy § Pediatric Airway Skills § Endotracheal tube changers § End-tidal CO2 detection § Esophageal Detector Device § Gum Elastic Bougie § Salvage BVM Ventilation

Certified Critical Care Nurse (CCRN) Review Courses (Pediatric) Certification, in general, is a mechanism in which the public and employers are able to identify practitioners who have met certain standards in their particular nursing specialty. Because of this, there are certifications in obstetrics, oncology, surgical nursing, critical care, flight nursing, etc. CCRN is the certification specific to pediatric or adult critical care nursing. It measures the attainment of a defined body of nursing knowledge pertinent to these particular specialties. This two-day course will review the core material that is potentially covered on the pediatric CCRN examination, as well as introducing various test taking strategies to maximize one’s chances of successfully passing the CCRN.

Dispelling the Myths As with many areas in healthcare today we are
faced with continued challenges. One of our greatest challenges in
the area of pediatric care is conflicting orders. Often times care
plans vary from physician to physician and can definitely lead to
anxiety when caring for young patients. This presentation will
detail what drugs are commonly administered to children for various
medical emergencies, their routes & rates of administration,
mechanisms of action, and common (& not so common) side effects.
Acute management of pediatric patients presenting with seizures &
diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and many of
the complex associated issues will also be discussed. Lastly, new
information on child abuse and non-accidental injuries will have you
re-evaluating certain childhood injuries. This program will cover
these as well as many other fascinating and essential pediatric
facts in an attempt to dispel the myths of pediatric acute care.
Emergency Nursing Pediatric Course (ENPC) While only five percent of pediatric emergency department (ED) visits represent true life-threatening medical or surgical emergencies, acute illness still remains a dominant source of unnecessary pediatric deaths. In many instances, these preventable pediatric deaths are the result of delayed recognition and treatment by emergency department personnel. Proper intervention by educated emergency care professionals may have prevented such deaths and disabilities. In spite of national pediatric trauma statistics, there are a limited number of medical centers throughout the country that have specialized pediatric centers. Nurses working in today's ED's must strengthen their pediatric emergency nursing skills in order to meet the needs of this diverse population and provide quality nursing care.
Course Length: 16-hours, (2) 8-hour day

Trauma Training Injury is one of the most significant health
problems affecting children in the western world and is the leading
cause of death for all children over one year of age. The survival
of children who sustain major trauma or life threatening trauma
depends on the resuscitation in the emergency department and access
to emergency surgery. § Early assessment, resuscitation and management of the injured child § Specific characteristics in managing the pediatric airway § Practical skills in airway and vascular access § Specifics of pediatric burns management § An understanding of infant trauma § The role of the Trauma team in relation to communication, situational awareness and human performance factors. § The use of ultrasound in children Padiatric trauma is a disease entity that challenges our capacity for teamwork. This will be explored further in scenario based sessions.
The Trauma & Drama of a Nursing Malpractice
Lawsuit Attendees will participate in a mock trial
involving pediatric, emergency, and/or critical care nursing related
issues. Prior to the mock trial, a series of case studies will be
discussed to educate attendees on the legal issues involved in
nursing malpractice cases and will provide the backdrop for the
issues that will be illustrated by the mock trial.
Trauma Nurse Core Course (TNCC) The magnitude of trauma as a national and international problem is documented by data that identifies injury as being the primary cause of death in persons under age 45. The optimal care of the trauma patient is best accomplished within a framework in which all members of the trauma team use a systematic, standardized approach to the care of the injured patient. Emergency nurses are essential members of the trauma team. Morbidity and mortality of trauma patients can be significantly reduced by educating nurses to provide competent trauma care. This course through its lectures & interactive skill stations has become a standard certification for many emergency/critical care nurses across the world.
