About this course

Pain, according to the Institute of Medicine (IOM), is a public health problem. The IOM reports pain affects at least 100 million adults – and that figure does not include those in the military, prisons, or long-term care facilities. Nor does it include children. The annual cost to society is estimated between $560 and $635 billion annually. Yet pain is often under-treated and some people must deal with pain on a daily basis. Even when treated, medication side effects and the risk of addiction are common issues. While nurses – with the exception of advanced practice registered nurses – do not prescribe for pain conditions, they face many challenges in helping people who have both acute and chronic pain.

Dawn O.Nutritionist

I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.

Priya M.Occupational Therapist

Very well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!

Cristina GRegistered Nurse

I appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.

Allison B.Nurse Practitioner

I really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.

Ronald H.Dentist

I am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
