Spring CE Courses for NPs: Suturing and X-rays

VILLANOVA CE: YOUR SOURCE FOR SUTURING AND XRAY CONTENT

Dear Colleague,

Our NP audience asked us for these courses and we deliver--all in our state-of-the-art home, Driscoll Hall on the campus of Villanova University. Courses on suturing and x-ray interpretation were developed by NPs with the targeted information you require for your practice.

Suture Workshop

This hands-on workshop is designed for APNs. It provides a unique opportunity to obtain wound assessment and management skills useful in everyday practice. You'll learn techniques such as wound anesthesia, suture selection, wound glue and digital blocks. Working with porcine tissue mannequins, you will practice three different suturing techniques: simple interrupted, running and mattress stitches. All supplies are provided including disposable suture kits that can be taken home for additional practice. Acquiring these skills can enhance your job performance as well as marketability. Enrollment is limited in order to optimize the learning experience. Register now!
