Update: 2012-09-24
Description
Charissa Cordon talks to ecancer at ICCN 17 in Prague about the development of the Oncologic Emergencies course and the importance of understanding adult learning principles.
Originally offered as a two-day workshop, the course built on foundational knowledge where newly hired nurses, as well many experienced nurses, learnt how to identity risk factors not normally seen in their specific field. In total eleven different emergency areas were discussed.
Because many nurses wanted to attend but could not due to various limitations such as nursing shift schedules, staffing issues, presenter availability and physical space , the workshop was developed into an educational module that was made available online, thus making it more accessible for nurses.
Ms Cordon also talks about importance of elearning formats and accessibility, as well as her presentation on adult learning principles for designing the course.
