Abstract

Vendor Spotlight is intended to provide you, the reader, with information about the products and services featured at the National Nursing Staff Development Organization's (NNSDO) convention. Exhibiting companies were contacted and asked to provide a description of their products and services for publication in the journal. The vendors were asked to avoid preparing an ''infomercial'' because the purpose of the column was to inform, not to advertise.

 

We're publishing these product and services descriptions on a space-available basis, so each issue of JNSD will feature one ormore of the descriptions. Of course, publication of these descriptions is a reader service and does not imply endorsement of the product, service, or company.

Over the past several years, MC Strategies has worked hard to provide clients with training programs specifically designed for nursing professionals. We now offer several training programs for this particular profession and are constantly expanding offerings to meet the needs of clients and the nursing profession.

 

Clinical Nursing curricula are developed by Medcom, a producer and distributor of award-winning multimedia healthcare education. These include

 

* Clinical Nursing-Medical: A practical training program offering both overviews and specific subject content for nursing, including legal considerations, management skills, and clinical lessons organized by key subject matter (e.g., assessment, cardiac care, geriatrics, infection control, obstetrics and gynecology, medication, psychiatric, wound care).

 

* Clinical Nursing-Surgical: Authored by Stanford University, this curriculum consists of management training and surgical procedures with practical applications to the operating room environment. All key content areas are organized and grouped by anatomy.

 

 

The Nursing Assistant curriculum, developed by Delmar, provides comprehensive coverage of the theory and skills required for nursing assistants working in acute, long-term, and home healthcare settings. It includes over 143 step-by-step procedures that emphasize patient rights, safety, and infection control.

 

All nursing curricula are approved by the American Nurses Credentialing Center for continuing education credit and can also be used for cross-training. From entry- to high-level nursing professionals, we offer a broad range of nursing training that covers pertinent theories and skills.
