Adult CCRN/CCRN-E/CCRN-K Certification Review

The Adult CCRN/CCRN-E/CCRN-K Certification Review course helps to take the fear out of preparing for acute/critical care nursing certification. This course was designed to validate knowledge, identify areas for further study and build test-taking confidence.

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) 

ECMO therapy requires specialized training and expertise to implement safely and effectively. Developed by AACN and the ECMO Institute, the ECMO Course is an online course that provides in-depth knowledge and understanding of ECMO for clinicians who care for critically ill patients with severe heart and lung failure due to a variety of conditions, including trauma, infection, cardiac arrest, acute respiratory distress syndrome, or cardiogenic shock.

 

With ECCO, we can offer a structured orientation into critical care that is written to national standards. The online format gives us more flexibility to hire nurses whenever they are needed instead of waiting to hire on a fixed schedule.
