SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Certain certifications are required for NMC staff to have the ability to give appropriate, lifesaving care to our patients, families, and significant others when necessary. Our current process for staff to register for required certification courses, i.e. Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) and Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) classes, is to come to the Nursing Education Department during the hours they are open (7:00 am to 4:00 pm), inquire about course dates, register and pay by check or cash. This process requires our staff who work nights or have a day off to stay over or come in on their day off to sign-up for our classes.
The utilization of Enrollware will allow NMC staff easy access to register and pay online for our live classes 24 hours a day. Additional information related to course requirements is also provided. This program will also track and issue Continuing Education Units, as well as, issue ecards. This implementation of Enrollware will increase staff satisfaction and allow the Nursing Education Department to communicate more clearly and operate more efficiently.
