Overview

Target Audience

RN, CNS, NP


Course Description

This 2-day course is designed to provide the critical-care healthcare provider with a review of AACN’s core curriculum, as of March 25, 2020.  Provided in a lecture format, the instructor will review anatomy and physiology, physical assessment (including hemodynamics and utilization of invasive assessment tools) and pathophysiology in a systems approach. Topics that are discussed include: cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, renal, endocrine, hematological, gastrointestinal, psychological and legal aspects of care. This review is not an introduction to the environment of the critical-care area, but a comprehensive update for the professional already in practice at the critical-care bedside and preparing for the CCRN Certification Examination.   

Key Learning Outcome

  • After completing the program, 80% of participants will report an increase in knowledge and confidence necessary to pass the certification exam.

Program Objective

This program prepares the learner to:

  • Discuss and practice test-taking skills.
  • Review critical anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology of each system.
  • Discuss significant assessment and diagnostic findings relevant to the critical-care environment.
  • Discuss clinical presentation as well as specific patient management of commonly seen critical-care conditions.
