The 14th Annual Action STAT APP Boot Camp- Day 2 VIRTUAL ONLY
Overview
The nursing profession is grappling with challenges related to insufficient educational resources, the need for continuous education to stay abreast of innovative practices, the integration of telehealth into practice, and ensuring that nurses are consistently updated on evidence-based practices. Addressing these issues is crucial for fostering a well-prepared and adaptable nursing workforce.
The “Innovate, Diagnose, Care: Empowering APPs” conference is a dynamic two-day event designed to bridge knowledge gaps and advance the clinical expertise of Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) and RNs. Participants will develop advanced diagnostic skills, including practical radiology interpretation of chest X-rays, CT scans (chest, head, abdomen/pelvis), and KUB, while exploring strategies in cardiology, pulmonology, nephrology, transplant care, and early mobility in the ICU. The program also focuses on enhancing inter-professional collaboration, and integrating emerging technologies into practice. Through these activities, attendees will be empowered to provide comprehensive, innovative care that meets the evolving needs of healthcare and optimizes patient outcomes.
