Dear Emergency Nurse,

This presentation will cover pediatric emergency nursing material that could be on the CPEN exam. This presession will give you a good foundation in preparing to take the CPEN examination.
The other presession offering is entitled Emergency Nursing 101. This course will cover a myriad of topics such as evidence collection, basic EKG interpretation, neuro assessment. Other topics that will be covered include emergency medications, ortho/spinal assessments and eye injuries assessment and treatments . The topics covered will give you a varied spectrum of emergency nursing practice.
