Online learning

Need to brush up on your management skills? We've created a series of online courses, with a fresh new look and feel, to meet your needs. Take a look at the four courses we've prepared for you:

• Communication and Conflict Management for Nurse Managers: Through open and honest communication, nurse managers instill a sense of trust in their employees. When conflict inevitably arises in the workplace, nurse managers must be equipped with the conflict management skills that allow them to resolve conflict while also holding staff members accountable for carrying out resolutions. Strong communication skills help the nurse manager handle conflict successfully.
• Nursing Documentation: Reduce Your Risk of Liability: The clinical documentation in a patient's record forms the basis for current and future care of that patient by all healthcare providers. Clinicians in your facility will rely on this record to make decisions regarding the patient's care. Detailed documentation can also provide strong legal protection to the healthcare provider and the organization.
• Leadership and Coaching Skills for Nurse Managers: Many nurse managers are placed in a role for which they are unprepared. Coaching and leadership skills are fundamental managerial competencies that nurse managers should feel comfortable exercising. Without these skills, nurse managers will be unprepared to coach, lead, delegate, and guide, thus ultimately affecting the quality of patient care.
• Time Management and Delegation for Nurse Managers: To ensure optimal patient care, nurse managers must effectively manage their time. This requires nurse managers to prioritize tasks, which can be challenging when many demands are made on their time. Nurse managers must delegate when appropriate, empowering their staff and recognizing their skills and capabilities.

Each course comes complete with a continuing education exam and evaluation.
