A good somewhat basic but needed understanding of pain management

Very informative and gives very useful information on pain management and understanding different types of pain.

Very informative. With the detailed content and the time it took to read and be prepared for a test, it seems like it should be worth more than 0.86 contact hours. I feel this online study would be better as a video with a lecturer. I also feel it would be helpful to provide visuals for the pathways discussed.

This Course is very helpful and informationve.

Loved the course...quick and informative

Very easy to navigate, information was up to date

Pain management is something nurses need to be educated about consistently.

This was a very effective course in the information delivered and its organization. The layout of the information could have been more appealing, but content/organization were worthwhile. Thanks.

Very well organized and detailed information available. Excellent course!

Great content. Not sure if it was just my computer but the slides did not fit on the page so I had to scroll left and right for each sentence ....very time consuming and not user friendly. Eval long...better on 1 or 2 pages

great! This is information that can be applied to all nursing specialties - up to date references and information as well as tips for improving patient care, thanks!

Very comprehensive, but maybe a little too lengthy.

Material was very informative. This could have been better if a lecturer's voice was actually heard.

clear with good information on pathophys of pain as well as psychosocial aspect. well rounded.

very helpful.

This module is extremely helpful to reiterate the importance of the statement, "Pain is what a patient says it is!" I agree that healthcare providers still to this day do not consistently and completely manage pain. I have had my own experience, as an RN with a chronic disease, that has led me through various medical settings trying to obtain proper pain management. Pain is extremely wearing on one's physical, mental, and emotional states, and managing it to it's highest potential is key to being proactive for your patients. I believe the ratio between patients who abuse pain medication and the patients who truly need the pain management is not important. The amount of patients who abuse the meds is minimal compared to the patient who should be given proper relief. Hopefully this module will open anyone's eyes that considers themselves to be the judge of how pts. feel. Only they know how they feel, and it is very frustrating, having to have gone through this process myself, when healthcare providers don't take you seriously. Pain affects every aspect of one's life. It is so important to be an advocate for your patients in this arena and to become knowledgable regarding all pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic methods that can be utilized by your patients. It is up to the nurse to be the eyes and ears for the physicians. Our patients count on us to provide them with some sense of relief. This module has a lot of great education in the different types of pain and their origination. I found the information very helpful to use in my practice and to educate others as well.
