Professional Briefcases: innovative resources for the self-directed nurse.
Providing educational activities and learning resources for professional nurses, particularly those who work off-shifts and weekend schedules, is a challenge for staff development personnel. At Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Professional Briefcases offer these self-directed learners an alternative to classroom instruction. The Briefcases can be used in a variety of settings: at home, on the clinical units, or in a resource center. This article describes the contents of the Professional Briefcases and their development and use.
