For non-nurses, it may come as a surprise that math is such a big factor in nursing education and nursing in general. But here at EHR Tutor, we understand just how crucial it is for a nurse to be able to determine the correct dosage of a medication or attach the proper amount of fluid in an IV bag.
Instructors work hard -- really hard! -- during the school year so a nice, long summer break is well earned. However, it doesn't hurt to spend just a few vacation hours during those three months to brush up on a few new skills.
We announced the upcoming launch of our EMT module this week, so we thought it was appropriate to post a teaching idea for any EMS/EMT Instructors out there.
Because we're still a smaller company, we always try to incorporate the needs and ideas of our clients when improving/expanding our feature set.
For anyone who missed it, I'm including a link to our most recent webinar with teaching ideas for adding complexity to patient scenarios. If you'd like to be on our list for future webinars, be sure to add your email here: http://eepurl.com/O4ldj
We recently did a webinar on Shared Charting (a feature we recently released on EHR Tutor) and we thought that even the instructors who could not attend might appreciate one of the scenarios we covered.
Hopefully we'll see you all at our next free webinar: Chart Sharing and Collaboration Across Classes
We know that CNA programs don't cover the same material as LPN or RN programs, but reviewing electronic charts is just as important for CNAs as Nurses.
We're getting ready for the Pennsylvania HOSA conference tomorrow from 9am-4pm. If you're in the area be sure to catch one of our talks at the Lancaster Host Resort and Conference Center:
We were recently talking to one of our schools with a Medical Assisting class and got a great idea for how to use an Academic EHR in a Nursing or Medical Assisting classroom when it comes to injections and vaccines.
Choose a patient to display during class and add a severe egg allergy to that patient's allergy list. Then, add an order for either a Flu or Yellow Fever vaccine.
