Triage has been described as one of the most challenging jobs a Registered Nurse must perform. It requires a plethora of skills including keen assessment skills, exceptional customer service skills, tremendous organizational skills and in-depth critical thinking skills. The question becomes, how does one master the art of triage?
This course is designed to provide participants with the foundational stones for triage. Participants will learn not only the foundational stones of this challenging skill, but also tips and tricks for dealing with difficult situations and figuring out challenging triage scenarios. The course is a mixture of didactic information, coupled with numerous challenging triage case studies that will require application of information learned and an abundance of triage “tips and tricks”—everything from dealing with drug-seeking behavior to gathering information from a non-compliant patient.
