During the COVID-19 crisis, NYSNA has led the charge for adequate PPE, more resources and appropriate staffing and reassignments.

As more and more staff nurses are being moved into Med/Surg and ICU areas, we also want to help NYSNA members collectively advocate for more training and appropriate delegation of assignments, including delegating care to others, such as students, staff displaced from another institution, or volunteers.

This requires a rapid assessment of skills, both your own and those of others available to assist in patient care.

NYSNA’s Nursing Education and Practice Department is now offering you COVID-19 time-limited competency programs that address practice standards during a pandemic in medical/surgical and ICU specialty care units.

Join us in a series of zoom educational sessions designed to meet your practice needs during the COVID-19 crisis. Each program is comprised of two (2), two-hour programs offered over two (2) consecutive days.
