Developmental Disabilities Nursing

Just made me remember our pharmacology training - each one of us students had to make an individual video to prove that she/he knew in detail all the correct steps when administering a medication.
Another question related to developmental delays - does anyone know where to find instructions about how to use the Denver II Developmental Screening Test? I have a description in my textbook about the test, a chart and a list of items in the manual, but no instructions about how to use the test.
Thanks if anyone knows how to give the test.

Hi, I am new to this site and new to DD nursing. My agency provided little to no orientation because there is no nursing director. I am learning as I go so I was very happy to find this site. Are there any classes for nurses new to DD that will provide a general orientation? I am also interested in becoming an AMAP instructor.

Hi , congrats on choosing one of the best fields. First off rules are different in each state. Iam only familiar with NY(30y) and Fl(2y). There are online courses for abnormal psych and DD Nurses, also a VERY expensive certification and questional exam- I did adult population, exam was child and ritalin oriented.
AMAP training is approved by State Nursing Board so contact them for information. Another source would be the largest not for profit dealing with DD population and ask them.
I came down to Fl to State agency APD(adilt persons with disabilities) their DD facility, to imput and provide training. Turned out they had picked some program from OR that provided minimal training and even then the state disapproved it so wound up on floor carrying more degrees than the director.
Still, its one of the most fulfilling areas of nursing. Glad to know you Christopher
