• Understanding the Differential: Including “Shift to the Left”
• Identify Types of Acute Kidney Failure from the Labs
• Life-Threatening Electrolyte Imbalances and Interventions
• Master ABG Interpretation Using a Simple Tool
• Systemic Inflammation of Sepsis: Lactate/Procalcitonin Levels
• Reading Cultures and Sensitivities
• The Clues to Liver Failure: Understanding LFTs

Attend this interactive seminar and leave with true integrative understanding of lab results and patient outcomes. Be a CLINICIAN, not a TECHNICIAN . . . be PROactive, not REactive! Learn the hidden clinical clues of labs and empower yourself to change lives as a situationally aware patient advocate powerhouse!

Join Cyndi Zarbano, MSN, BSN, CCRN, CMSRN, CLNC, NLCP, as she demystifies both the common and less frequently seen lab values. You will explore a large variety of labs, why they are ordered, and what the results tell us about your patients. By understanding the clues that these values give you, you can utilize critical thinking to proactively plan the course of care and optimize patient outcomes.
