Course Description:
Everyday RNs and APRNs are challenged to care for and manage increasingly complex patients with acute and critical illness. We know you want to practice with excellence, so your patients have the absolute best outcomes. However, it is becoming increasingly difficult to stay current with the vast amount of evidence-based knowledge and clinical skills needed to provide exceptional care.

At Cardiovascular Nursing Education Associates (CNEA) we know you need clinical resources that containing relevant clinical information and practical application. That is what you will find in this Comprehensive Acute and Critical Care Course.

Do you want to take an acute and critical care course that explains why we do the things we do? Do you want to learn things in a way that makes sense, so that you remember information when you need to use it in your clinical practice? Do you want to be respected for your clinical judgment and recognized for your excellence in practice?

This newly recorded acute and critical care review course is different from other courses. This course equips you with the knowledge and skills you need to provide exceptional care. In this course you will learn how to apply your new knowledge in clinical practice, and you will gain clarity about how your interventions connect to patient outcomes.
