Safety, Sepsis & Superstitions 2024
Whether it’s a full moon, unlucky numbers or black cats, most of us have a few superstitions. Still, enhancing your clinical skills on a Friday the 13th shouldn’t be one of them. Madonna Rehabilitation Hospitals invites you to the Safety, Sepsis & Superstitions nurse educational event. This interactive, hands-on training includes best practices for early mobilization of patients to improve outcomes and ensure both nurse and patient safety. Plus, there will be an encore presentation of our most popular education seminar — the early detection and treatment of sepsis.
