Care2Learn launches Florida Mandated 30 hour LPN Supervisory Course
Online.

(PRWEB) August 1, 2003 -- Care2Learns premiere authoring team has released the 30 hour LPN Supervisory Course for its public website and corporate clients. Cherry Pfau, BSN, RN and Florida educator worked in conjunction with Care2Learn to launch a thorough & effective training course via the web to assist the long-term care industry in affecting education costs. The State of Florida issued a mandate requiring that licensed practical nurses receive a 30-hour supervisory training course if they provide oversight to other staff. The internet is an effective venue to enhance live training and education for any and all nurses.

The course looks really good" said Rebecca Keaton, RN, who reviewed the course for Florida Medical Quality Assurance. You have met the goals in the rules, and it looks very learner friendly. I thought the distinction between RNs, LPNs and CNAs was very good, including the time allotted to actually write down tasks and what would be appropriate for each task".

Although this course targets nursing professionals within the long-term care environments, a staff developer/educator in any healthcare environment would benefit from using the course and its concepts for due to the focus on excellence in supervisory skills.

Frontline nurses often are at a disadvantage when entering the supervisory role and need mentoring, training and attention. The State of Florida is on the forefront in requesting that these needs receive attention," says Cherry Pfau, author and educator. The structure of this course on www.care2learn.com is broken into achievable sections. The web allows the learner to receive the information, test for retention and monitor any follow-up to live education given. A RN Companion Guide" is provided online in easily printable format for the RN supervisor to discuss the case studies and course exercises with the LPN as they progress through the course.
