What can I say! Catherine, who answered so many of my questions and reassured me, was more than patient with me and so very kind. Nelson...Nelson was top notch! He made class so entertaining! He is full of knowledge and enjoyed teaching us all. So very glad I found both he and Catherine! Thank you both!
Awesome presentation! The hands on megacode practice really brought everything together for me. I will absolutely recommend to all my co-workers. The class could not have been better. Ronnie is an excellent instructor.
this course was taught my nelson and Catherine and they were amazing!
This course was very useful to my practice. I appreciated the small class and ability to have hands on practice and ask specific questions. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn more about the why’s of giving specific fluids or practice IV skills.
