Nursing Skills Fair by PNA

NURSING SKILLS FAIR

Program Description:

This will be a two-day workshop with the intent of providing the participants with the standards and guidelines of safe practice for various basic nursing procedures. A preceptor will discuss and demonstrate the nursing procedures while explaining the rationale behind the techniques and activities. The participants will be given the opportunity to demonstrate their skills through a return demonstration phase guided by a competency checklist.

This program however, does not intend to certify the participants as competent or proficient practitioners. It will only assess the participants’ level of knowledge and skills in a guarded simulated environment. Thus, this training is intended to supplement the participants’ skill development on the standards of safe nursing practice.
