Acute MI Education for non-CC areas

by sjt9721

We've got plenty of educational resources for ACS/AMI for Tele, CCU, & ED nurses. What about Outpatient, MedSurg, Oncology staff?

Any creative ideas besides "here, read this & do the quiz"?????

ACLS/PALS/TNCC/ENPC and a dysrrhythmia course are all concentrated on this topic.

Thanks, but that's not exactly what I'm looking for. I'm extremely familiar with all those, having held them for several years running.

We need to build a competency for AMI s/sx recognition for non-tele, non-ICU areas. I guess I'm looking for something that's out there (besides what I've already found) that is creative and interactive for the staff. I hate re-inventing the wheel!

Have you thought of case studies based on actual presenting patients or ones that have occured on the unit and then you can have staff role play which I hate but is interactive and a great learning experience.
We also involve our CRNP and PA-C in helping with on unit teaching.
