Perhaps you attend community events with children in attendance? As a healthcare professional, you may be called upon to be a first-responder, part of a resuscitation team, or someone caring for the child and family in acute or primary care settings. You will complete this educational program with practical strategies for recognition, management and prevention of a myriad of pediatric urgent and emergent conditions. As a pediatric clinical nurse specialist and pediatric nurse practitioner caring for children with life-threatening emergencies on a routine basis, Stephen Jones, MS, RN, CPNP, ET, understands the need for rapid and appropriate treatment responses for this age group in particular. Complete this seminar and learn from Stephen’s vast experiences working “in the trenches”. He will provide many helpful insights from his extensive and on-going clinical career and practical, evidence-based interventions to guide the treatment of the most challenging pediatric urgencies and emergencies that present. You are guaranteed to end this program ready to improve the actual outcomes for your own pediatric patients - and perhaps more importantly, know key interventions to avoid any preventable negative consequences while these young patients are under your watch!
