Staff Development Slides

 

As a public service to the long term care industry, Parragon Healthcare Group is providing a set of Powerpoint shows on a monthly basis for individual facilities to utilize.  These presentations can be used to meet the federal requirements for 12 hours of continuing education per year and are available for both CNAs and licensed nurses.  Each show presents information on a topic that is vital for nursing home staff to know.   Slides are loosely structured so that facility staff can customize these presentations to ensure conformity to local policies and procedures.  New slides will be available by noon on the first day of each month.  Please direct questions and feedback to matt.sevier@parragonhealth.com.
