Hi All!

Sorry for the double post (I also posted this in the ortho section)

I am new to the board but I need some insight from those who are "seasoned" educators. I am an new educator on an ortho unit.We are doing alot of back surgeries now and need to improve our neurologic assessments (i.e Motor function, strenght/reflexes and grading them)

I need an easy way to teach the nurses how to do a quick yet thorough exam of their postoperative spinal surgery pt. Any tips or advice?

Thanks!!
