Managing Bedside Emergencies

Course Description

Your shift is going smoothly — couldn't be better. In fact, you just said what a great day you were having. Then it hap-pens. An aide runs from one of your patient’s rooms down the hall. "Help! We need help in here NOW!" As you enter the room, you notice your patient is gray, diaphoretic and complaining of chest pain. Would you know what to do next? You will if you attend this course!
