As part of GNYHA's ongoing efforts to support the delivery of quality care at its member facilities, GNYHA's Center for Continuing Care is hosting a program, Competence with Compassion, for long term care (LTC) nurse educators and other relevant staff. The program curriculum was developed by the Center for Advocacy for the Rights and Interests of the Elderly. This interactive "train the trainer" program is designed to assist members with preventing abuse and fostering innovative conflict management techniques. The program has been extensively fieldtested, and 98% reported that they recommend the training program. GNYHA has applied for continuing education credits from the National Association of Boards of Examiners of Long Term Care Administrators and the New York State Nurses Association. For more information, call Roxanne Tena-Nelson, and to register, call Jenifer Fergusson, both at GNYHA. Registration is limited.
