Safe and Early Mobility Event was a ROUSING SUCCESS!
The day included safe methods to incorporate early mobility into daily care for all careers, how to overcome barriers to mobilizing patients, and much more. The engaged group of nurses, CNAs, Physical Therapists, and Occupational Therapists learned in the classroom and practice dynamic scenarios.
Healthcare is a team sport- and when patients improve, the whole team wins. RISNA knows this, embraces this, and offers opportunities for nurses to network and learn alongside other members of the healthcare team.
Thanks to Margaret Arnold, PT, from EarlyMobility.com, for collaborating on this conference- It was inspiring to everyone who attended!
