COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course is designed for nurses who participate in the

resuscitation of a patient, whether in or out of hospital. Through
this course, the nurses will enhance their skills in assisting
during the treatment of the adult victim of a cardiac arrest or
other cardiopulmonary emergencies.

This course on the ACLS: The ABCD of resuscitation will

emphasize the importance of basic life support - CPR to patient survival; the integration of effective basic life support
with advanced cardiovascular life support interventions; and the importance of effective team interaction and
communication during resuscitation.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Through the realistic simulations this program aim to provide the participants with the opportunity to reinforce the
following key concepts:

1. Proficiency in basic life support care;

2. Recognizing and initiating early of management of peri-arrest conditions;

3. Managing cardiac arrest;

4. Identifying and treating ischemic chest pain and acute coronary syndromes;

5. Recognizing other life-threatening clinical situations (such as stroke)

6. Providing initial care; ACLS algorithms; and effective resuscitation team dynamics

7. Identifying important concepts in post-resuscitation care.

INTENDED AUDIENCE

to provide the new nurses with an overview of critical care nursing
practice. It will present the physiological concepts that will be the basis of
understanding the diseases and nursing assessment. The course will offer
an opportunity for nurses to develop critical thinking by integrating
knowledge about the disease, assessment, intervention and management.

NURSING SKILLS FAIR I (NSF I)
Nursing procedures are constantly changing this is due to never ending discoveries in best-practice health care methods.
As nurses we want to ensure that our knowledge and skills in nursing procedures are always updated. We can read a lot
of them and have the knowledge but it is different if we have the developed a certain level of skill acquisition,
particularly in this time of new technology. For this reason CCNAPI is offering a course focusing on common nursing
procedures.

Course Description:

This is a two – day workshop for nurses that will allow skill development on the common nursing procedures through
hands-on opportunity guided by preceptors in a simulated environment. The focus of this course is basic procedures that
nurses often perform in their daily
duties such as:

· Medication Administration procedures · Wound Care

o Subcutaneous Injections o Lacerations

o Intradermal applications o Contusions
o Intramuscular Injections o Punctures
o Intravenous Injection o Avulsions
§ Starting an IVF line o Burns
