Calc Hero: Online


Description
[4 CEs]. This is an ONLINE IV infusion and calculation course designed to walk you through the entire process from LOST to EXPERT. We use a stepwise process to show you a skill-portion, have you practice it, and then ensure you understand answering real-world infusion questions. This is a lecture and practice based online course that will have you asking, “why hasn’t anyone taught it this way before?!?” Many former students have asked this very same question, and it is because Swearingen has designed an incredibly simple equation and method for it’s practical use in the field- it called The Hybrid Method and taught exclusively in this course.

Once complete, you will be able to expertly navigate ANY, and I mean ANY, IV infusion problem. Even hard ones will be easy for you after this course.
