An inservice on wheels.
In our hospital nurses were unsure about products to order for ostomy patients. To address nurses' concerns, a group of representatives from the Central Supply Department and Nursing Department as well as the clinical nurse specialist and patient care specialist was formed. The group developed an inservice on wheels entitled, "Send Me One of Everything" which was rotated throughout the hospital. This article describes the setup of the cart, methods used to update skills, and evaluation of the process. The inservice on wheels was an effective way to update the staff and decrease waste.
