Advanced Procedures Workshops
Using state-of-the-art mannequins, ultrasounds and other equipment, these popular workshops are specifically designed as 100% hands-on, small-group experiences with expert faculty. To obtain procedural CE, and to maximize a fully hands-on experience, these workshops require attendees to review approximately one hour of material prior to the session. Assignments will be located in each customer’s Barkley & Associates’ portal approximately 4 weeks prior to the conference.
In addition to meeting ANCC, AACN, and AANPCB recertification CE credit, all Advanced Procedures Workshops are approved to meet the AANPCB requirement of 30 hours in emergency care procedural skills to be eligible to sit for national ENP certification.

- Perfect Advanced Procedural skills that enhance your practice

Due to high demand and the need to reserve seats to maintain small groups, no refunds are allowed once registered for an APW, regardless of the reason. In addition, no refunds will be given to registrants who do not attend their scheduled workshop, regardless of the reason.
Barkley & Associates reserves the right to reassign attendees to a different Advanced Procedures Workshop time, if needed, to ensure optimal group learning and appropriate faculty to student ratios. In this case, attendees will be notified in advance of alternatives.
The fee for transferring any APW to another attendee is $60.
