This QI project assessed ways to improve nurses’ knowledge and preparedness during critical events by distributing a survey to DCH RNs. The survey, based on Kolb’s learning styles, allowed us to recognize whether OR nurses preferred a particular learning style to enhance their knowledge and preparedness during critical events. The project was guided by the Model for Improvement, developed by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement.during critical events. Various training strategies, including Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), simulation-based training, web-based learning, and emergency manuals, were evaluated.
