Elite Learning Releases the Nurse’s Casebook Featuring Real-world Malpractice Cases to Help Protect Nursing Professionals and Their Patients

ORMAND BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Elite Learning, a comprehensive online learning destination for licensed professionals, today announced the release of The Nurse’s Casebook, a scenario-based guide featuring malpractice cases to help protect nursing professionals and their patients.

“Every healthcare professional has experienced it: that patient case that sticks with you long after your shift ends. Whether bizarre, mysterious, or tragic, those are the cases that challenge our knowledge, test our clinical judgment, and ultimately teach us invaluable lessons,” said Candace Pierce, DNP, RN, Senior Course Development Manager of Nursing at Elite Learning. “We compiled these real-life cases to help nurses understand what went wrong, so they are better prepared to recognize red flags, trust their clinical intuition, and advocate effectively for patients in similar situations.”

The Nurse’s Casebook was developed from Elite Learning’s popular podcast series, Scrubs and Subpoenas. In the podcast, Dr. Sally Miller, a seasoned nurse practitioner and expert witness, reviewed five real-life patient cases, examining the patient’s history, their clinical presentation, the crisis moment, and the aftermath.

Featured in The Nurse’s Casebook are the following five real-life cases:

• The Case of Persistent Abdominal Pain
• The Case of the Psychiatric Patient
• The Case of the Unresolved Lesion
• The Case of the $700,000 Prescription
• The Case of the Lost Limb

“We want nurses to be equipped with an understanding of liability, medical malpractice, and the steps they can take to avoid it,” continued Pierce. “This casebook contributes to our vast library of resources to help connect nurses with current trends and with a community of fellow nurses.”
