You will not need the other forms at this time.

  • Seminar 2 - Palliative Care/End-of-Life Issues

    This seminar will include a student led roundtable discussion on the NYS Laws for End-of-Life Care. Each student should bring information to discuss on how your facility is meeting the new laws. What actually happens in the ER? How do patients and families view this issue? How does your preceptor or clinical site view this issue and how are they meeting these new requirements?

  • Seminar 3 Employment Contracts

    Included are examples of NP contracts to assist your understanding of issues that are common in NP employment. Some are very simple and some are very detailed. I have also included an "independent contractor" agreement should you need one in the future. Remember, the NYS Collaborative Practice Agreement is an entirely different document and the two should not be confused. Please review these documents before class and be ready to discuss as per the course schedule.

    While we have not discussed Alzheimer's specifically in Diagnostics & Therapeutics classes, there will be questions on your certification exams regarding Alzheimer's and Dementia. Your textbooks also have excellent information on these disease processes, so pay special attention to Risk Factors, History, Physical Exam and the Plan of Care/Education for each. You will only be asked about the basic drugs for Alzheimers such as Exelon, Aricept etc., of course by generic names. You must know the MMSE by heart.
