What People Are Saying About McGlinn Institutes Services
“Dr. McGlinn is a great educator & I loved her quick summary after each important point. It helped me to assimilate the learning objectives. Her presentation was very well articulated & paced perfectly for the online medium. For me it was everything I need to have for an accurate update in a way that was presented so simply for a complicated topic. Thank you very much!” -Emer Cooper
“Great presentation! I am a NICU nurse and IBCLC, and I know I will be sharing with my colleagues. Loved the NICU memory tips for when to do cardioversion (with a pulse) and when to defibrillate (pulseless). Awesome! Thank you!” -2019 GOLD Neonatal Conference Attendee
Loved how she gave a practical explanation to an often difficult to understand topic. Great presentation and best EKG lecture I’ve had. Very useful and applicable with lots of repetition to help remember. Wish she had taught me PALS! Now I finally understand! – CANNP Symposium Evaluation
