Nurses Take Advantage of Low Cost CEUs

About 125 nurses from various Southern California hospitals took advantage of the Documentation Saves Careers class offered by SEIU Local 121RN. Participating nurses earned 7 continuing education credits to put toward renewing their license.

The one-day program in Glendale reviewed the legal implications of documentation using case studies to demonstrate legal pitfalls. Registered Nurses are being sued in greater numbers and regulations are increasing the liability and accountability of nursing practice. In our litigious society, RNs and other healthcare workers could lose their jobs, have their licenses revoked, be named in a lawsuit or even face criminal charges.

The class was led by Cheryl Randolph, RN, MSN, CCRN, CEN, FNP-BC, and Rita Kae Restrepo,  BS,  RN,  CPAN.

Some comments on the class were:

"Funny and informative!  This was my 1st class of documentation as a new grad.  Thanks for the info and empowering a new RN."

"Enjoyed the day.  Learned some and reinforced a lot.  Will definitely recommend.  Also really liked the location, central, easy to get to and nice amenities.  I will be taking future classes."

"This was my first SEIU 121RN conference and I really enjoyed both the presenters.  Very informative, knowledgeable and entertaining."

"I appreciated the return letter when I paid with detailed instructions how to get here.  Very impressive."

"Food was very good.  The afternoon snacks were a very nice treat.  Felt spoiled!"

"Both speakers were excellent.  Provided information clearly and spoke eloquently.  Also had a lot of laughs.  I usually fall asleep during class and this one was interactive enough for me to learn something."
