Thanks for asking, Kris. Yes, ideally we want you to wait on fully completing the lesson to save the CE. I am looking into that for you.

Sylvia, I LOVE this! I have always said if I could I would be a professional student myself! I can not just settle on continuing life without continuing the journey of education and knowledge.
I am so happy to hear how far you have come while overcoming such major personal health obstacles.
Thank you for your introduction!

Good morning,
I’m trying to do Lesson 2 and it wants me to mark Lesson 1 complete before I can open Lesson 2. I thought we are not suppose to ‘complete’ the lessons if we are wanting to sit for the exam? My understanding of this is so we can get our CEU’s for this course. I plan on taking the exam in the Spring. Am I understanding this correctly?…[Read more] -

Hi everyone,
I’ve been a volunteer patient advocate for family and friends for the past 15+ years, and now I want to make it official and work as an independent patient health advocate. I was raised by two ICU nurses so our dinner table conversation consisted of hashing out different medical complexities, stumbling blocks in the healthcare…[Read more]

Katy Orlando replied to the topic 92 yr old unsafe discharge in the forum Confidential Case Discussion 10 months, 3 weeks ago
Hello Michael,

Hi. I agree with Stephanie, I like the “Redefined Advocacy and Consulting”. I think it also gives you the flexibility to grow and shift as our practices always do! I have to admit I didn’t get the capitalized “R” and “N” until I read what Steph wrote :). Thanks, love it!
