- Nursing Management of Sleep Disorders, 2nd Edition 6
Course release date 7/1/2024
Course Overview
This course is intended to assist nurses in gaining a better understanding of the pathophysiology underlying common sleep disorders prevalent in adults. They will be proficient in recognizing, diagnosing, and treating these disorders, including insomnia, sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, and narcolepsy. Participants will also develop basic assessment skills to evaluate sleep disturbances, enabling early detection and intervention. By exploring evidence-based treatment modalities and interventions, nurses will be equipped to devise individualized treatment plans, fostering improved patient outcomes and overall quality of care.
- Pain Management Pearls: Opioids and Culture 2 1
Course release date: 8/1/2023
Course Overview
Pain affects all domains of life, and clinicians have few effective tools at their disposal to help these patients. Opioids remain the strongest group of analgesic drugs available. Millions of patients are safely and effectively maintained on relatively high-dose opioids for chronic, severe pain and require these medications to function. However, opioids, like many medications, have serious risks and should not be treated like a cure-all. This dichotomy has resulted in many patients for whom opioid analgesics are appropriate increasingly experiencing barriers to pain relief. At greatest risk of unrelieved pain from stigma and bias are children, the elderly, racial and ethnic minorities, active duty or military veterans, and those with cancer, HIV, or sickle cell disease. Pain undertreatment in African American patients is especially widespread. As a result, prescribers, dispensers, and administrators would benefit from considering both the tenets of appropriate opioid prescribing and the impact of culture on experiences of pain and effective pain management. - Pediatric Concussions: Best Practices for Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries (mTBI) 8
Course release date: 7/1/2024
Course OverviewThere are three main types of traumatic brain injuries (TBI); Mild TBI or concussion, Moderate TBI, and Severe TBI. This course is designed for practicing healthcare providers who work with children and adolescents who have suffered a minor Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) or concussions. This course is most beneficial for the healthcare provider who has a basic knowledge of concussion and concussion management but has not recently reviewed the current literature about or evidence-based guidelines for concussion care and management. Concussion identification and management is changing every year. This includes significant changes over the last several years in the classification of concussion and an approach to diagnosis that considers the complexity of concussion and the need for individualized patient-centered care. Gaps in knowledge that have been identified in nursing practice include the role of neuroimaging in concussion, the understanding of current guidelines and definitions of concussion, and the prescription of individualized gradual return to activity and sport (Gillooly, D.R., 2023). This course provides a comprehensive evidenced-based content related to the complex nature of minor concussions or mTBI; the pathophysiology of concussion; the physiologic dysfunction that may result; as well as the assessment tools required for evidence-based examination and treatment.

- Understanding, Recognizing, and Mitigating Implicit Biases in Healthcare 3
Release Date: 5/1/2023
About the Course
Researchers have identified that unconscious biases affect clinicians’ perceptions of others, influencing decisions and actively contributing to health inequalities. Typically, implicit biases are negative and unintentionally lead to disparities in patient–provider interactions, treatment decisions, and overall access to care.
The purpose of implementing implicit bias training is to emphasize to healthcare providers a modifiable risk known to play a role in the causation of health disparities. This interactive course incorporates several features to engage learners and promote active participation.
