AMSN Medical-Surgical Nursing Certification Review Course on 7/31-8/1

This two-day course is an overview of interventions that medical-surgical nurses use to promote quality of life for their clients. Using the nursing process to enhance physical and psychological well-being in clients and their significant others is inherent in the role of the medical-surgical nurse. Taking this course will provide those taking the medical-surgical certification exam with information necessary for success and will include practice exam questions. For those not taking the test, the course provides an excellent review of the body systems and nursing interventions used as well as objective and subjective data to gather.  The course will be taught by Caroline Ashman MSN, RN, CMSRN, and Director of Education for Eastside Medical Center near Atlanta, GA.   The course comes with 14 CNE Contact Hours.
