The Institute for Johns Hopkins Nursing has launched the nation’s first online course in guided care nursing.

The course, which has been endorsed by the National Gerontological Nursing Association, will focus on best practices in chronic disease management, caregiver education and support, transitional care, and geriatric evaluation. The six-week course will feature live webinars, Web-based learning modules, and simulations.

“As Americans live longer — and are expected to do so with more chronic conditions — the role of the nurse as coach, teacher, and source of evidence-based knowledge and skills has become increasingly important,” said Jane Shivnan, RN, MScN, AOCN, executive director of the IJHN.
