It doesn’t matter if you are a regular caregiver for children or are only occasionally expected to do so, it is important that you keep up to date.-To-Date knowledge/skills are essential for this highly specialized population. This knowledge is especially important if your practice is in a rural area, or if you are a school nurses who are expected to make fast, independent decisions regarding illnesses in children. This seminar will give you new knowledge.-You will be able to share the knowledge with your patients and their families as soon as possible. Seminars will not only provide theoretical and empirical information, but practical advice that you can implement in your own practice.

Common pediatric problems that present will be broken down according to age and include evaluation of fractures, hypertension, meningitis, and other problems.-Headaches and other orientated complaints like abdominal pain or headaches. We will also discuss common parental questions such as… Is my son old enough to lift weights? Are energy drinks harmful? Is this MRSA-related skin infection? When can you? I Do I give peanuts to my child? We will also provide tips on diagnosing pediatric emergencies and how to make initial interventions to reduce morbidity or mortality.
