THIS SPRING!
More Continuing Education Classes
are Coming Your Way!
Is your workplace helping or hurting your
mission as an RN?
Come learn how work relations influence
your role as patient advocate
Nursing Contexts: Caring as
Effective Patient Advocacy
With the professional
knowledge and extended
contact necessary to recognize a patient's care needs,
the RN is uniquely positioned
to ensure that those needs
are met. For this reason,
patient advocacy is the heart
of the RN mission of patient
care. How can work relationships in a healthcare institution be structured to enable
nurses to fulfill this mission,
representing the best
interests of patients within
the institution and in its
larger social context as well?
This class will introduce
participants to a variety
of models of work relations
and explore their implications
for patient advocacy.
Upon completion of this
program, participants
will be able to:
define patient advocacy;
identify features of the
predominant models
organizing work relations
in healthcare institutions;
and articulate the
relationship between
such models and RN
patient advocacy.
