Learn how nurses can still provide quality care in uncertain times

On this course, you’ll explore the issues involved for nurses working with low resources, and what you can learn from nurses in crisis zones.
You’ll discover how to lead during the COVID-19 pandemic, what palliative care currently looks like, and how we can work towards recovery.
