IMPROVE CRITICAL CARE ORIENTATION
Orient Nurses Faster and More Consistently with a Complete Evidence-based Online Program
Essentials of Critical Care Orientation (ECCO®) from the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN®) provides novice nurses the theoretical foundation to effectively care for patients. Each of the nine modules begins with an anatomy review, progresses to medical problems in each area, and continues to treatments and after-care. With this program, your organization will have the flexibility to orient nurses whenever hiring needs dictate and employee competence will be improved because educators can spend more time on applied training. By implementing ECCO as a key component of orientation programs, educators can launch standardized training on their schedule with confidence.
