Education, Tip of the Week

Nurse.com provides free online continuing education (CE) for certain courses

One class that comes to mind: Wellness Coaching Skills to Enhance Your Client Follow-Up. This is perfect for healthcare professionals with goals of building their skills on empowering their clients, fostering positive energy, and implementing client follow up sessions.

This class was created by the Creative Educational Concepts (CECI) which received their accreditation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACGME), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.

CECI: 1.0 contact hour

Length: 1 hour

Objectives:

  • Implement a client follow-up session in a way that fosters positive energy, trust, and rapport.
  • Implement the goal review process using a strengths-based approach and empathy reflections to create a positive frame for the rest of the conversation.
  • Support the client in focusing on possibilities instead of solutions by discovering personal strengths, championing successes, and staying judgment-free when encountering challenges.
  • Support and empower the client to choose appropriate next steps.
