Special Edition: Continuing Education

Nursing education is an important topic in the discussion of healthcare. Quality education provides many benefits to your facility, staff and patients.

Continuing education will improve patient care by reducing medical errors and strengthening bonds between patients and staff.

Education programs not only teach the technical skills required to deliver proper medical care, but can also teach important professional skills such as ethics, communication, organization and valuable “people-skills.” This will help the staff develop positive relationships with patients and their families.

Through proper education programs you can boost morale, improve staff confidence, and reduce stress.

Educating your nursing staff will also benefit your facility by lowering insurance rates, increasing efficiency, decreasing litigation, and reducing staff turnover.
Along with quality education comes the need for practice. Our practical, “What would you do?”, questions help the student apply these principles to every day situations.

Whether your state requires minimal training or has a multitude of requirements, every nurse and nursing administrator can appreciate the importance of continuing education.
The fields of healthcare and nursing are continually changing, making education even more important.

NEVCO has been devoted to providing quality education programs on a wide variety of pertinent healthcare topics for over 20 years. We encourage you to choose from our many award-winning programs to train your staff and increase the quality of care in your facility.
 

Medical History: Paving the Way

Perhaps the most famous nurse ever, Florence Nightingale, worked in a military hospital during the Crimean war. Conditions were poor and 80% of soldiers died from infections they caught in the hospital rather than their original wounds. Florence Nightingale improved standards of hygiene and sanitation which dramatically reduced the infections in her hospital. When she returned from the war, Florence Nightingale embarked on a campaign to modernize and improve hospitals. She set the foundations of hospital design and nursing practice that are still seen today.
