Watch the recording from the webinar "An In-Depth Look at the NIHSS." Presented by Nikkole Lee, MSN RN CCRN, and Tara Miles, MSN RN CCRN SCRN, the main focus of the webinar is assisting participants to make an anatomical correlation with the NIHSS exam. This will take the exam understanding to the next level by allowing participants to understand what part of the brain is being tested with each component of the NIHSS exam. The presenters share their success in customizing the NIHSS education method while maintaining Joint Commission compliance at their organization. The webinar is not intended to count as an NIHSS certification for participants.
Participants can receive 1 CE contact hour for viewing the video and completing the evaluation.
