NEW CE CLASSE
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.
