Course Description

This 2-day course is designed to provide the critical-care healthcare provider with a review of AACN’s core curriculum, as of March 25, 2020.  Provided in a lecture format, the instructor will review anatomy and physiology, physical assessment (including hemodynamics and utilization of invasive assessment tools) and pathophysiology in a systems approach. Topics that are discussed include: cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, renal, endocrine, hematological, gastrointestinal, psychological and legal aspects of care. This review is not an introduction to the environment of the critical-care area, but a comprehensive update for the professional already in practice at the critical-care bedside and preparing for the CCRN Certification Examination.
