I am an RN in Long-Term Care and Skilled Nursing at a nursing home in New Mexico. I was inspired by the material and am also excited to hear about studies about the E-Cigarettes that recently came out and how they can help prevent Heart and Lung disease along with other morbidities and chronic illnesses associated with smoking tobacco!

I am now a retired ANP but work in a radiology center. I have a great opportunity to interact with patients and will use the information I learned today to descourage patients from smoking

won't let me take the test. keeps taking me back to the slides

Excellent information and relativity . Would recommend to any healthcare professional.

Very informative. Will use this information with my patients and myself. Wish me luck! And pray for me!!!!

I could'nt come back to the course. Had to restart it from the beginning everytime. Kind of a waste of my time.

very good presentation

Well presented. Offers doable suggestions to affect patient outcomes.

Informative, but somewhat dry. Some good info to carry into practice.

The topic was very interesting and informative. I did learn new information which I can use.

Excellent course; very practical information!

The course was very informative and the presentation was excellent.

Although it offers a lot of information that could really be of great help in helping smokers stop, I found the lecture to be a bit too drawn out.

Helps you deal with patients with smoking problems better.

Excellent course. Would recommend to others. The program did stop at one point in the middle and I had to restart. Though it restarted where I left off, I found I had to go back and click through each slide before the program would give me credit for having reviewed that slide. No big deal...just good to know.

useful info.

I love the information.

There's something wrong with the program because it will not allow me to take the CNE test. It kept going back to the slidecast. Someone plaese fix this. Thank you.

Excellent!

nice course. Easy to understand the concepts

I found this course to be a greay refreshing of my knowledge. Being a reformed smoker, it meant a lot to me.

The course material was pertinent to the ongoing problems with smoking cessation and the effects on health. I am a smoker myself, who has made many attempts to quit, and found this information extremely motivating and a helpful addition to add to my daily practice as an RN. I love to educate the community in various settings to increase the community's knowledge regarding prevention and measures to control their diseases. I agree with smoking being a chronic disease, and as a smokeer myself, I am very angry that something can be so addictive that it controls so many aspects of one's life. I found this module motivating to quit, again, and helpful to maybe have this be the last final time of quitting...given all of the resources available. Education to patients is key to providing them with all the tools to manage their diseases and all the tools in preventing exacerbations of their disease processes. This particular module can be educated throughout the community from everywhere from hospitals and physician offices to church and school settings. It can be taught in individual homes by home health clinicians and in the group settings of AFC and assisted living settings. The material learned in this module can be used in the prevention of the young non-smokers and the supportive role for the smokers. Thank you. The only aspect of this module that I had a hard time with was viewing the entire slideshow and not being able to get to the exam. After several attempts and re-clicking on each individual slide in the task pane, I was finally able to get to the post test and evaluation. Some may find this too irritating and give up, but if you play around with it...it will work eventually until they fix the problem.

easy; full of relevant information. site easy to navigate
