The purpose of my capstone project is to raise awareness and educate nurses more on strokes since it is one of the leading causes of death in the US. I have done research that shows nurses need more education dealing with them. I will provide a pre quiz, education that goes over important information we as nurses need to know and then a post quiz! Thank you for participating! I ask when you do the quiz that you do not look up any information so I can run the statistics to see on my own if we need more education :)!
