Friday, March 1, 2024, 1:00 PM - Monday, March 1, 2027, 2:00 PM

ANCC Nursing Contact Hours (1.25 hours), General Attendance (1.25 hours)

This series is intended to address the gaps of knowledge surrounding neuro specific conditions and interventions provided to patients within the NCCU/NSCU. Through this educational series, staff are going to learn how to perform and utilize various forms of assessment skills to enhance patient care.

1. Discuss the anatomy and structures of the brain in the care of neuro patients.
2. Describe the anatomy of the brain including its relation to disease processes.

In support of improving patient care, Dartmouth Health is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
