Enhancing Medical-Surgical Nursing Practice Improve Your Practice and Prepare for Certification

A 10-Week Online Course

I loved it--the quality of the speakers was superb!

I thought I had a pretty good grounding in most of these topics but I took away new knowledge and practical tips from each lecturer.

Excellent course. I wasn’t sure how viewing online lectures would be, but I found it worked very well.

Speakers were engaging and I felt like I was at the seminar!

The pace was perfect, the incentives to keep up were helpful, and the topics were great! I really enjoyed the course.

The ability to replay lectures was “oh so cool!”

I gained a lot of confidence that I have the knowledge to practice safe, effective and evidence-based nursing.

I think every nurse should take this course.
