Upcoming Events & Webinars
- Register Now for Coaching the Student Who's Failing and Doesn't Know It Yet
Coaching the Student Who's Failing and Doesn't Know It Yet
7 October 2026 at 1:00 PM EDT•WebinarAfter this webinar, you'll leave with three things: A way to spot the two or three students who need a conversation—not the 14 you'd flag by guessing. Three questions that get you to the real problem in under five minutes of office hours. And a free Excel workbook that does the sorting for you: paste your export, and it flags the broken items and reads one student's pattern in about three minutes.
- Register Now for Pharmacology Review: The Drugs That Go Wrong and What You Do First
Pharmacology Review: The Drugs That Go Wrong and What You Do First
21 October 2026 at 1:00 PM EDT•WebinarYou've memorized the side effects. Then an exam question gives you a patient on clozapine who has a sore throat and asks what you do first. The list doesn't help. Pharm questions rarely ask what a drug does. They ask what's going wrong with this patient and what you're going to do about it. In one 90-minute session, we'll go deep on four areas: drug toxicities, psych medications, insulin and DKA, and blood pressure drugs. Then we'll take a 60-second pass through each of five more: anticoagulants, chest pain, opioids, asthma, and IV fluids. We'll start with ten questions before we teach anything. The score is for you, not us. By the end, you'll know why you missed the ones you missed and what to look for next time. Bring something to write with. In partnership with Lecturio.

“Attending #INRC2025 deepened my understanding of how research can directly influence nursing leadership, workforce policy, and patient outcomes. I was particularly inspired by sessions on geriatric care models, nurse resilience, and cross-country collaboration. Meeting international colleagues who are passionate about advancing nursing gave me both motivation and ideas for future research partnerships."
