Therapeutic Communication Online Learning Activities

Image
The Open RN project is creating a series of  Therapeutic Communication learning activities that will be included in the Nursing Fundamentals OER Textbook.  These activities can also be incorporated into your LMS by copying the H5P links, or by searching for them in Canvas Commons.  Cultural competency and domestic violence are the first two topics addressed by these scenarios.  The Open RN  list of H5P activities  is continually updated as new scenarios are released.

Happy Nurses Day!
