As CEO and Educator, I want to address this gap and ensure that end of life professionals are empowered to accept and embrace the gift of providing compassionate care for their patients.

support group.

I enjoy working and anticipate working for 20 more years, and I wanted to be able to use the knowledge I have gained and expand on it. Legal nurse consulting gives me that opportunity. It keeps me stimulated and is the most exciting thing I have ever done in my nursing career.

Education—and saw the many obstacles of this traditional type of education: getting the nurses to the course, expense, travel, schedule difficulties, different learning styles and paces. It occurred to me that there had to be a better way to provide these nurses the didactic portion of I.V. education in a capacity that met THEIR needs. My husband (and CTO) has over 28 years of experience in software and database architecture, and website management. So we dreamed up Pedagogy-which means "the art and science of teaching"—and we were off! It is a great misconception that all there is to I.V. education is how to insert a catheter—take one of our courses and you will soon realize—there is a lot of knowledge a nurse must have to deliver infusion therapy to their patients safely.
Capra Dalton RN, CEO, Pedagogy Incorporated, Texas Nursing Entrepreneurs, Continuing Education (CEU) Providers:"Pedagogy Incorporated is a provider of nursing continuing education. We specialize in I.V. Therapy Education and Wound Care Education. We offer accredited courses to individual nurses, Long Term Care Facilities, Home Health Agencies, and Hospitals.

The longer I was in the medical field and the more consulting I did, I saw a great need in the area of financial control.
