The CARE Framework Class | Clarify–Ask–Recommend–Engage

The CARE Framework Class gives you a repeatable, professional way to speak up, advocate, introduce evidence, and build trust with physicians, even inside hierarchy, time pressure, and practice differences.

Short. Practical. Immediately usable on your next shift.

  • You advocate, and it gets brushed off
  • Or, you escalate and get labeled “difficult” or worse, written up
  • You stay quiet, and you carry the weight of “what if”

Tools like SBAR help with information transfer.

But they don’t solve the relational dynamics that decide whether your voice actually lands.


What You’ll Learn during CARE Framework Class

The CARE Framework is a training built around a communication model designed for real-world inter-professional friction.

In this class, you’ll:

  • Learn the CARE Framework™ step-by-step
  • Watch it modeled in high-stakes, real clinical scenarios
  • Break out with peers to workshop your exact situations and walk out with language you can use

What You’ll Walk Away With

  • Scripts that protect your professionalism while strengthening your advocacy
  • A way to introduce evidence without triggering power struggles
  • A framework to reduce miscommunication, delays, and escalation chaos
  • More confidence in physician conversations and less emotional residue afterward

CARE Framework Class

Learning Objectives

  1. Define Patient-Centered Advocacy by clarifying what advocacy actually is, the nurse’s professional role in it, and why it directly shapes safety, dignity, and outcomes.
  2. Identify Communication Breakdowns That Harm Outcomes by recognizing how hierarchy, conflicting priorities, and practice variation can derail timely care and increase moral injury.
  3. Use The CARE Framework™ As An Advocacy Tool by explaining how Clarify–Ask–Recommend–Engage supports professionalism, confidence, and patient-centered escalation.
  4. Practice The Creative Art Of Nursing In Real Scenarios by applying CARE in case-based role work and drafting a ready-to-use CARE script for a real situation from their unit.

You shouldn’t have to choose between advocating for safety and protecting your reputation.

CARE gives you a way to do both.

I would recommend this class to all nurses, not just L&D

I would recommend this class to all nurses, not just L&D, because we all have to communicate effectively with our providers and this CARE training is very helpful to reorient our thinking to a shared goal/patient centered care mentality.

Love all classes Bundle Birth, but this one specifically addresses how to speak to providers/coworkers in a non-confrontational and organized way that allows the nurse to provide safe and preferred patient care.
