I am so happy to announce that I have put together a seminar on feeding strategies for nurses and nurse's aides to receive CEUs (continuing education units)! The seminar focuses on: reasons for aspiration or silent aspiration * hands on mixing of thickened liquids * using body positions and adaptive equipment; feeding tube options; * understanding various dysphagia situations and stages of swallowing; utilizing a treatment plan designed by a speech pathologist; distinguish between altered diet consistencies * communication strategies to use while feeding another person The seminar is offered to take place at your facility OR at a conference center. Please email me with "RN CNA Seminars" in the subject line (talkndr@yahoo.com) or phone me (815-541-1857) for the state and month you are interested in attending a seminar and if we can't get one in your facility, I'll let you know of one that is nearby. I like to keep the class size to
10-30 people and will do various times of the day to assure that all shifts
at the facility have the ability to attend.
