Children are not small adults and infants are not small children. Each child and infant is a unique individual, requiring unique interventions. Do you care for pediatric patients in your work place? Are you around children in your neighborhood? Perhaps you attend community events with children in attendance? As a healthcare professional, you may be called upon to be a first-responder, part of a resuscitation team, or someone caring for the child and family in acute or primary care settings.

You will leave this educational event with practical strategies for recognition, management and prevention of a myriad of pediatric urgent and emergent conditions. As a pediatric clinical nurse specialist and pediatric nurse practitioner caring for children with life-threatening emergencies on a routine basis, Stephen Jones, MS, RN, CPNP, ET, understands the need for rapid and appropriate treatment responses for this age group in particular. Attend this seminar and learn from Stephen’s vast experiences working “in the trenches”. He will provide many helpful insights from his extensive and on-going clinical career and practical, evidence-based interventions to guide the treatment of the most challenging pediatric urgencies and emergencies that present. You are guaranteed to leave this day immediately ready to improve the actual outcomes for your own pediatric patients - and perhaps more importantly, know key interventions to avoid any preventable negative consequences while these young patients are under your watch!
