Mini-Courses:

Basics of Malpractice Lawsuits for Nurses

How much do you think about lawsuits or getting sued as a nurse? If the answer is somewhat frequently to a lot, this is for you!

Great for nurses of any specialty who want to understand the lawsuit process and the nurses role. Finally learn what all those terms mean (like "standard of care" "discoverable" & "scope of practice"), what really drives lawsuits and how outcomes get decided.

Documentation Domination: Charting for Perinatal Nurses

Do you want a framework for documenting according to the standard of care that you can apply to any situation? Do you want to chart in a way that improves patient outcomes, nurse satisfaction and helps prevent trauma?

I want that for you, too.

Legal Issues Unique to the Postnatal Period

Reasonable & Prudent:

the ultimate course for perinatal nurses

10 CEU's, a workbook, and a year of optional live Q&A sessions so you can get all your questions answered!

As nurses, we need to be able to talk about the things that are beneath the lawsuit--patient injury and harm--and ways to prevent it in a well-regulated way. In a way that’s trauma-informed and helps our nervous systems, that doesn’t keep us in this fight-or-flight mode, and lets us be bold and actionable in our patient advocacy.

Why Reasonable & Prudent? 

Well, it's a phrase used often in the malpractice world to describe how nurses ought to be and is the basis for defining the standard of care. We'll dive into what it means to be a reasonable and prudent nurse, so we can claim this as our own! 

We deserve to feel good at work, in our chosen profession, caring for our patients...let's work on this together.

My guiding philosophy:

In birth, we get our best outcomes when we don't intervene in normal, and when we intervene in a timely manner in abnormal.

Which means we have to be really good at telling normal from abnormal. 

Let's sharpen this skill together.

Consistently, nurses share with me worries around lawsuits. And with so much on our plates, that’s the last thing we should be thinking about. We should be able to feel good taking care of our patients.

In the cases I review, I see the same themes come up over and over again. And they probably aren't what you think they are or what you've learned in risk-management classes.

Let me help you focus on the things that actually keep patients safe.
