title: Inservice education: career development for South Australian nurses.
abstract: Inservice education is mandatory for the development of a skilled workforce and a planned rational program is required to ensure that labourforce requirements are met in specific areas of practice. The South Australian Health Commission (SAHC) has endorsed a Career Development Model for Nursing Practice which among other things will assist in the planning and implementation of inservice education in South Australia (SA). The model is based on the principles of advancement, competency and diversity and reflects the Dreyfus Model of skill acquisition adapted to nursing by the American nurse theorist Patricia Benner.
