Are the school staff you support fully prepared and trained to respond in case of an emergency – whether you are on campus or not?
In this one-day train-the-trainer program you will learn to craft effective school emergency medical interventions and establish and train a Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT) in every building where you work! Evilia Jankowski, an expert on developing school MERTs, brings over 30 years of school nursing experience to this important topic. Evilia provides critical and practical strategies to ensure that your MERT is prepared for any emergency situation.
Empower building staff with the skills, confidence and preparation needed for the unexpected. Leverage strategies outlined in the NASN School Nursing Practice Framework to develop a multi-disciplinary, collaborative response to medical emergencies.
You will leave this institute with all of the tools and training materials you need to create an effective Medical Emergency Response Team in your school building(s). Join Evilia for a dynamic, fast-paced day filled with evidence-based, yet practical, proven ways you can help safeguard the buildings where you work in case of an emergency. Gain the tools, knowledge and confidence to establish and train effective Medical Emergency Response Teams.
Medical emergencies occur in our schools. Inevitably, emergencies often happen when the school nurse is away from the building. What if you could be assured that anyone experiencing a medical emergency will have an effective response, even when the school nurse is not able to respond?
In this one-day train-the-trainer program, I will show you how to establish or enhance your Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT) with well-defined individual actions and responsibilities so that all required actions will be taken.
There is nothing more frightening to staff than a student or adult struggling to breathe, experiencing a seizure or another medical emergency. Even more frightening is the feeling of helplessness when they don't know how to help in these situations.
I want to help you provide the staff with whom you work the knowledge and skills they need to respond appropriately to any medical emergency in school – whether you are present or not. Learn how to empower your staff and get the added benefit of a team who can provide competent assistance when it is most needed.
Please join me for a critical day in which I will provide you with all the practical tips, tools and approaches you need to successfully implement the MERT process in your school(s). I want to help you be a leader and change agent in effectively preparing staff to respond in case of an emergency. I look forward to meeting you and working with you!
P.S. You will leave this institute with a digital handbook complete with templates and tools to help you implement the MERT process. Don't miss this opportunity!
