Residential care facilities
Memory care
Adult foster homes
In-home care
Why are these NurseLearn courses and programs so important for nurses?
“We recently have had a few changes of conditions in a couple of our communities. Taking what I have learned during these courses and performing it in “the real world” has been a great experience. ”
"I really have enjoyed learning the importance of identifying the change of condition in a different realm other than the ER and med-surge."
"This was another good course. There really is a lot to look at with weight changes."
"I just finished this module. Another good one. There is so much to look at for any one fall to try to prevent future falls. Will definitely look at things a little different when heading back to work on Monday."
"I learned so much in this course. Once again very good knowledge. I appreciate everyone who put all this information together to educate us on this, thank you."
"April's Technical speaker series yesterday was great."
"This was my favorite module so far. I work a lot with Hospice and Hospice patients. Thank you for all the great info!"
"This module was very thorough and informative. I learned so much about what is expected of my role as an RN. I appreciated how well this course was presented for the RN’s role, in step-by-step process when identifying significant changes in weight with community-based residents."
