Education Access Offers Web Seminar Series Exclusively for Nurses Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses are now required to obtain 20 continuing education hours per licensure period. This is a dilemma for many long term care facilities due to cost of education as well as it being impossible to have employees attend face-to-face seminars. Education Access has the solution! For an IHCA and ICLTC member facility fee of only $1250 per year, you will have access to enough web seminars to more than meet the

4 20 CE requirement. This fee also includes unlimited access to the Education Access Library where the web seminars will be archived. The non-member fee is $1950. For facilities that choose not to take advantage of the yearly program, all web seminars will be available à la carte for a member fee of $75 each. Archived seminars will also be $75 each. The non-member fee is $125. The web seminar series will include a variety of topics for clinical, leadership, and legal issues, including the following: Geriatrics 101 Physiological changes of aging Cardiac function Peripheral circulation Nutrition Skin Implications for nursing practice Lab values Psychological/Depression/Impact of multiple losses Medication 101 Drug/food interactions 6 Rs (right med, right dose, right resident, right route, right time, right documentation) Technique Verifying appropriate dosage and indication/side effects Taking a medication order (dosage, route, etc.) Appropriate in Geriatric Population Commonly used medications/dosages Implications of nursing practice Medication metabolism Psychotropics Informed consent Initial AIMS Indications Ways to avoid initiating Protocol/regulation Consequences of adverse reaction Tubes, Lines and Trachs Documentation Basic site care and assessment Scope of practice Checking for Contraindications Nutrition Swallowing issues/choking Diets Liberalized diets
