Working with acute care patients who have serious, life-threatening conditions can be stressful and intimidating. Their families look to you to help provide function, mobilization and independence through their rehabilitation.

The man in front of you isn’t just your patient…

He’s a father. Someone’s son. A friend.

This kind of pressure can make you feel a little overwhelmed.

Hesitation when you’re transferring him with a trach in.

Uncertainty when splinting his burn wounds, since you don’t do it too often.

Or the thought of preparing him for post-acute care, unsure of his motivation to recuperating.

The good news is, feeling prepared to address your patient’s needs doesn’t have to be difficult when you have the right training. This integrative online course prepares you with strategies you can use with patients in all acute care settings, with special attention to working with your ICU population.
