Looking for more FREE Continuing Education Opportunities? Our friends at GOJO are here to help!

Our friends at GOJO came to us and asked a simple question, “what are Long Term Care providers looking for from their partners?”  Based on what we’ve seen and heard in the field our response was that there is a desperate need for  continuing education opportunities at either low or no cost.  Also that these continuing education opportunities need to be easy to earn and help make a difference in their work place.

With that said GOJO has delivered and they’re letting us help bring the opportunity to you!  GOJO, the makers of  and , have created a webinar in conjunction with NADONA/LTC, the National Association of Directors of Nursing for Long Term Care,  on infection prevention.

The webinar, titled Emerging Models of Infection Prevention in Long Term Care, features Deborah Health, RN, BSN and Neal Larson, RN-BC, is an hour long and covers the importance of maintaining a hand hygiene program in the Long Term Care setting.

What makes this CE webinar even better is that it’s totally free.  In order to take this course click here to be redirected and you’re well on your way to earning one free CEU.

For more information on this webinar as well as other opportunities to earn CEUs please feel free to contact us and we’ll be happy to let you know what we know!

Anyone looking for CEUs?

The wound assessment seminars that we’ve been hosting  throughout the southeast ( Charleston, SC, Atlanta, GA, Morrisville, NC, etc., etc.) have been fantastic successes and we’re going to continue to bring them to you.  However everyone we speak to is clamoring for more education and more opportunities to earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs).  With that in mind we’re working with our manufacturing partners to help provide these opportunities at no, or at least at very low, cost to you and your organization.

Highlighted in this post are the continuing education opportunities provided to the customers of the world’s 5th largest manufacturer of diabetes self-monitoring systems, ARKRAY.  For many years Grove has partnered with ARKRAY to bring our valued customers their innovative products and now they’ve taken it a step further in offering FREE online CEU  courses through their Assure Brilliance program.  The topics range from needle-stick safety, infection control, nutrition and diabetes management and are accredited for RNs and CNAs.  Also several of the courses are accredited for Nursing Home Administrators, Registered Dietitians, and Social Workers.

As always we are very proud to serve our customers and to bring them new opportunities to save money, become more efficient and provide better care to their patients!  Please contact us if you’d like to take advantage of the CEU courses offered by ARKRAY or if you have suggestions on other subject areas that may be helpful.
