Join us for a webinar on the latest evidence-based information for the prevention and management of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) presented by Dr. Gregory A. Maynard.

Being in the hospital is a major risk factor for the development of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Patients with decreased mobility - due to bedrest or recovery - or who experience blood vessel trauma - due to surgery or other serious injury - are more likely to develop blood clots.

In fact, up to 60 percent of all VTE cases occur during or within 90 days of hospitalization, making it a leading preventable cause of hospital death.

To prevent VTE, hospital staff should evaluate patients for their risk of developing blood clots and use proper prevention and treatment procedures.

This interactive, high-energy session explores how mentoring can be embedded in the fabric of leaders (formal and informal) and organizations as a transformational force to build human capacity and drive employee engagement in the workplace. In a LEAN healthcare environment where we are challenged to be efficient, mentoring is an essential leadership strategy to build talent, employee engagement, and morale within the workforce. Content focuses on mentoring as an essential leadership strategy that must be embedded into the organization’s DNA through the alignment of knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes around mentoring reflected in work units, departments and the overall organization. Participants will explore the current state of the science in mentoring as well as the key differences between the roles/purposes of preceptors, residency program mentors, coaches, and mentors. Participants will leave this session knowing the six evidence-based Mentoring Practices and their associated Mentoring Benefits for building mentoring culture in nursing and will begin to identify ways to apply to their work as leaders. Additional content added to this presentation will include practical strategies for success for individuals (mentors and mentees) and organizations including relationships building and goal setting and evaluation.

This workshop is a deep-dive, application focused, full version of the beginning content in Nurse Builder’s: The Mentoring Difference curriculum, an innovative leadership development curriculum designed to deliver practical, evidence-based training that supports formal and informal leaders in creating and sustaining mentoring culture in their workplace.

In face of uncertainty, it has become evident that nurses need to: (1) become more entepreneurial, (2) embrace technological advancement, and (3) globalize their mindset and practices. We know that the power of nursing extends beyond the bedside. Nurses are needed as educators, researchers, scientists, and policy makers. Becoming a nurse entrepreneur requires hard work, creativity, passion, and a degree  of risk-taking and adaptability.
