    great info

    well done. my background is nursing (ER and ICU) and the guidance here resonated for me. I agree and am glad to hear (for both staff and survivors) that the move is to provide education for those performing notifications.

    Missing Animal

    I did not see the animal during the presentation at all, and I am positive that I watched the entire video and took copious notes.

    EXCELLENT TOPIC, ONE THAT DESERVES EVEN MORE ATTENTION.

    I did not notice the proof of watch that was in this presentation. Not sure why....

    Death Notification

    Very good course and informative. The subject brings to a higher level than what many would think or do in death notification.

    Too much too fast

    This segment was too much information per slide, presented at too rapid a pace. The first course where I really wanted the slides as a handout, but did not have them. Also, there was no cat image in the first set of videos, and you never asked about the ambulance image in the second set of videos. This is probably the topic I felt least prepared for coming into this class. This course helped, but it could have been broken out more into sub topics, presented more slowly, and with less jargon. For example, if you're going to say "OIS" either say or write out what that stands for. Don't make me puzzle it out while the presenter is talking.

    Image Issue

    I know that there is a hidden image in the videos, however I did not see one in any I watched. I watched each video twice. The first time I would pause and take notes, but the second time I just watched. I did not see an animal at all, so when that question popped up I had to guess. I did notice a small gray star on the "With Compassion" slide, that I'm wondering was supposed to be animal, but if not then I really don't know where the animal was supposed to show up. That could still be on me for not watching closely enough (but again, I watched each video twice) but it was the only downside to the course. Otherwise I found it quite helpful!

    Great subject!

    My opinion only. Bullet points on Special Groups slides were too long as well as talking points. I believe having videos of role play showing the correct way and improper way of notification would be more engaging.

    This course seems a little basic but most of the information is also common sense. It's a good review.

    Proper Death Notification Procedures Course - The Gem of All Courses

    This was the best course regarding notification of death I've ever seen, including live and virtual lectures in death investigation, and in medical education-medical training I've attended. It's almost universal that no one likes to talk about death, especially when you are the one who has to notify someone's next of kin about it. Very difficult topic to cover. Excellent resources, especially the one with best practices in notification (i.e. do in person, in pairs, timely with certainty, and in plain language, etc...; an aside, when I think of death notification gone awry in the case of wrong next of kin notification, I think of the scene in "Saving Private Ryan"..."James Francis Ryan from Iowa? No. James Frederick Ryan from Minnesota")

    POW

    I never saw the proof of watch in the video, and had to take the test three times to get it right. Then in the specialized notification videos training there was a picture and of course no test.

  • Lisa

  • Jane

    No Image

    I watched this course thoroughly 2 times and no watch verification image was in any of the slides. I had to guess and take the quiz over. You need to recheck this course for the image.
