W-9 v That’s Amore... Rekindling the Student/Faculty Relationship to build Leadership Skills
We can ask ourselves, where has the love gone in the way faculty and students interact? The student/faculty relationship is essential if new nurse leaders are going to emerge from our nursing classrooms. This session will explore the student/faculty relationship from a new perspective and offer options for improving how students and
faculty interact on a daily basis. The importance of building relationships will be emphasized with practical suggestions you can use when feeling stressed and unhappy with the status quo. Scenarios will be discussed and you will have the opportunity to “problem solve” responses to common issues in both classroom and clinical situations.

Actual documentation errors which have led to medical malpractice cases are discussed in an interactive format. Tips are shared on witness preparation in the event a nurse must give a deposition or go to trial. The most frequent allegations against nurses are discussed and recommendations are given to legally protect the nurse. Don’t wait to find out how you SHOULD HAVE charted!
