Although everyone experiences grief, it is a unique process for each individual. What is grief? How do you manage it? When will it be over? What can I do to start feeling better? I just want my life back, how do I do that?  Looking for answers? Attend this one hour session that is aimed to answer your questions and hopefully provide you with some coping tools to start the healing process.

Is there someone on your team who is grieving? Do you want to understand more about the grieving process and how you can assist this employee and the rest of your team? This training will empower you in what to do and not do and provide you with strategies in helping both the employee/teammate as well as managing the productivity expectations.

NOTE: Pre-course LMS module will be assigned upon registration and will be required to be completed prior to class.

Will Your Documentation Help You or Hurt You?

Documentation is an essential part of patient care. When documentation is incomplete, your patient’s safety and provider liability are at risk. If the patient claims they have been harmed, one of the first steps taken is a review of your documentation in the medical record. Could you defend yourself against medical negligence with your medical record documentation alone? 

Join us to learn ways to improve documentation in your practice.

• Examine the challenges with documentation       
• Review frequent allegations made against Nurses   
• Recognize the liabilities associated with incomplete documentation       
• Apply strategies to improve documentation       
• Document patient interactions objectively, accurately, and concisely

Although the holidays are usually regarded as happy celebrations, many of us approach the holiday season with trepidation.  When you have lost people you love, their death(s) can overshadow or outright stifle the joy of the holiday season.  Sentimental reminders abound, with movies, songs, and ads focusing on families and spending time with loved ones. 

Do you struggle with feeling sad or lonely at this time of year?  Are you at a loss as to how to respond to friends and family who wonder why you are not in the holiday spirit?  Would you like to learn more about how to cope over the next few weeks? Please join us for an informative 1-hour session which will cover understanding grief, triggers, coping tools, communication and resources.

This course is a follow-up session to Managing Grief During the Holidays.  Let’s talk about how the holidays went for you, what worked, what could be done differently, and what you would change moving forward. Join others to learn and share about managing the holidays when actively grieving.
