From the Director of Patient Care services, Practice and Education

Nursing Education has always been an instrumental and critical component of nursing. The future of nursing practice is, leading

change, and we have an opportunity and an obligation to respond. Nurses are developing innovative approaches to empower patients to return to their optimal level of health, and to independently manage their health at home. As Stanford Hospital & Clinics provide cutting-edge and innovative evidenced based care, the CEPD is committed to promoting education towards nursing excellence in this quickly evolving realm of health care. Many of the speakers and course coordinators are the visionary nurses that we love working with at Stanford. Their commitment to nursing is an exemplar that patient-centered care is a part of their daily lives.

Nursing is an amazing blend of caring, science and art.

There are some great new classes aligning with Magnet® that will guide you and your teams with inspiration and innovation to meet the future challenges head on. Our attention is on how nurses set priorities in their professional, personal and community settings and how to keep the meaning in your practice of nursing. The CEPD is here to support you in your endeavor to become an innovative leader of change.

We welcome your comments and suggestions for future course offerings. Please email us at [email protected].

How can you stay informed about health-care changes and especially those of Medicare A,

B, C, D, or choice of Medigap plan? Did you ever think that you would need a health-care advocate to under-stand the pieces of the health-care puzzle?

In dealing with the concerns regarding the high costs of health care, insurance payments, deductibles, or specific health care plan “pre-authorizations,” it has never been so important to stay informed, to apply for services that can be covered, and to ask the right questions!

This program will promote healthcare provider aware-ness on Medicare insurance plans and other health plans available. With the rapid growth of an older adult population, nurses will be the key providers in the point of care for patients. The financial burdens of illness and quality care often depend on insurance and coverage and long-term needs. Nurses can be the support for referrals for patients and family members, and learn how to advocate for better self-care as well.

PROgRAM OBjECtivEs• Identify, discuss, simplify, and clarify health-

care changes, including Medicare and medical plans

• Compare case studies and discussion to under-stand Medicare and health care choices

• Identify how nurses and providers can work with the health-care system to support their patients

• Formulate and support clarification on being able to ask the right questions

• Awareness of the resources/ links available for Medicare and health care choices.

This class will provide you with a strong founda-tion to prepare for the CCRN exam. The content reflects the latest CCRN Blueprint. The classes are held on three separate days to make it easier to master the volume of information presented. You may attend one, two, or three sessions; at-tending all three classes is recommended.

session One covers the cardiovascular system and emphasizes hemodynamics and cardiac knowledge needed for the CCRN exam.

session two focuses on the pulmonary system; acute endocrine disorders and immune-mediated coagulopathies are also discussed.

session three covers acute neuroscience (ex-panded in the 2010 ccrn blueprint), GI, kidney, and multisystem integration.

The course focus is on disease recognition, as-sessment pointers, interpretation of critical di-agnostic values, and priority interventions. The AACN clinical synergy model, test questions, and test-taking strategies are integrated throughout the three sessions. Coursework is current, evi-dence-based, and highly interactive, with high-quality computer graphics and a detailed outline to minimize the need for note taking.

Chest pain in the adult patient population typically is an indication of an ischemic event related to coronary arterial disease

(CAD). However, not all chest pain is related to Acute Cardiac Syndrome (ACS). There are many other conditions that can cause chest pain. Using a case study approach, signs, symptoms, and typ-ical/atypical patient presentations of chest pain will be reviewed, including how to prevent, iden-tify, and treat adverse outcomes. Cardiac emer-gency areas, such as acute pulmonary edema, hypertensive emergencies, cardiac tamponade, acute aortic dissection, and chest trauma will be outlined. Emphasis will be placed on pathophysi-ology, assessment, pharmacology, and treatment options. This session will benefit all nurses work-ing with the adult patient population.

PROgRAM OBjECtivEs• Demonstrate a cardiac assessment on an adult• List three modifiable and three non-modifiable

cardiac risk factors• Describe the American Heart Association

(AHA) guidelines for the treatment for ACS• Differentiate between stable and unstable
