it’s going to be a nice day. I tried to find a spot that every knows, so you are less likely to be confused. The actual sessions will be held at LNC in Sanepa, but they have asked that we register off-campus, to avoid having a crowd that disrupts their normal operations.
CCNEPal will once again conduct a series of four sessions of our 3-day course of Critical Care Skills for nurses.
Who: CCNEPal, led by Joe Niemczura, RN, MS from USA
What: the 3-day course that covers basic life support, elementary ecg, airway, drugs, protocols, teamwork and communication. We teach standards that are based on research done by the American Heart Association( AHA); but it needs to be carefully and clearly noted that this is not the “Official” American Heart Association class. It is significantly adapted for the needs of Nepali nurses. At the end of the three days, participants get a certificate from CCNEPal. Mr. Niemczura has taught this course about fifty times throughout Nepal.
When:
session #1 March 1st, 2nd, 3rd (full)
session #2 March 8th, 9th and 10th (Sun-Mon-Tues) 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (six seats left)
Session # 3 March 29th, 30th and 31st (Sun-Mon-Tues) 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (nineteen seats left)
Session #4 April 5th, 6th and 7th (Sun-Mon-Tues) 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (thirty seats)
(note: sign up for just one of the four)
Where: The class will be held in the legendary “Green Ballroom” – complete with crystal chandelier, at Lalitpur Nursing Campus in Sanepa.
Why: to advance the skills of the participants.
IMPORTANT: about the course fee. 600 rupees. there will be chiya at morning and afternoon but it does not include lunch.
OTHER COURSE POLICIES:
Each session is limited to thirty participants only. At the time of registration, it is “first-come, first-served.”
Bring the course fee and a pen drive. we do not accept telephone registrations, and the fee is nonrefundable. If after you register you are unable to attend, you can send a substitute, but you can not get your money back.
for further information: read back entries of this blog – the course objectives and outline are amply described. Browse the FaceBook page for photos of past sessions. Talk with one of the 1,400 previous participants in this training. send all questions to the CCNEPal FaceBook page. Please do not phone or email me directly.

The L.N.C. sessions have always included an interesting mix of practicing nurses, nursing faculty, new graduates and the like. We did this in 2011, 2013, and 2014 and each time the classes were fun because of the mix.
