O
To Whom It May Concern,

I propose an educational course for pediatric nurses as part of the Continuing Professional
Education (CPE) program, specifically targeting those in Pediatric Intensive Care Units at Miami
Call Us Now (612) 234-7670
Valley Hospital. Titled "Clinical Healthcare Ethics for Pediatric Nurses," the course aims to
provide an overview of ethical principles and their application in clinical settings.
Pediatric nurses face unique ethical challenges, and inadequate knowledge has led to
ineffective decision-making. This course is essential for a comprehensive understanding of
moral principles, enabling nurses to provide patient-centered care while safeguarding patient
rights. It aligns with program goals by enhancing professional knowledge, improving clinical
competencies, and communication skills, and adhering to professional standards.
om
The evaluation strategy involves ethical case studies, role-playing/simulation, and a
comprehensive certification exam. Although well-supported, there is uncertainty about nurses'
resistance to change. Further information on this aspect could enhance the choice of strategies.
t.c
Recommended next steps include developing a course outline based on international nursing
education standards, obtaining approval from the nursing education board, integrating
en
technology for e-modules, training PICU clinical educators, and planning course timelines. I also
recommend course generalization for nurses in different clinical settings to ensure effective
ethical practices.
