Image for Charge Nurse: Creating a Culture of Safety cours

Overview

The Joint Commission and Institute for Healthcare Improvement recognize that quality patient care starts with a culture of safety among staff. Learn how to foster this kind of culture — one where teamwork and trust rule and staff feel safe sharing concerns and ideas for improving care.

In this one-day online course, you’ll briefly review charge nurse leadership basics. You’ll then focus on tactics to help you improve customer service, respond to crises and prepare your unit for any quality surveys or audits.

This course is presented by Flex Ed and could be offered by your hospital in the future. If your hospital is a Flex Ed client, check with your organization to learn about future offerings that may be at no charge to you. (Please check here if you’re not sure whether your hospital is a Flex Ed client.) If you wish to continue registration at this point, HASC will offer a discount.

Who Should Attend?

Charge nurses looking to take their leadership skills to the next level.
