    ROBERT SAUNDERS, RN

    I am an RN with over 25 years of experience. I have 17 years in the ICU. During my tenure, ventilators have been managed by RT’s and Pulmonologists. This course has given me the tools necessary to fully comprehend ventilators and manage patients on them. It has also allowed me to better interact and trouble shoot with my colleagues. With COVID19 looming, these refresher courses have handed me improved knowledge and skill to be able to provide the best chance for patients with COVID to survive. I can’t thank MedCram enough for providing this tutorial. I have spread it widely among the entire staff at my hospital. You are truly are benefiting humankind in these new and trying times. Keep up the amazing work and add five more Gold Stars on top of your five star rating. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
