A multi-faceted program for continuing education in nursing.
The three-year project, a Multi-Faceted Program for Continuing Education in Nursing, provided for development of multiple new and innovative approaches to providing continuing education for nurses. The major accomplishments of the project were: 1. The development and testing of a nursing self-assessment inventory. 2. The establishment of learning laboratories for nursing continuing education in rural communities with emphasis on use of self-instructional materials. 3. Participation in the implementation of a regional plan for continuing education in nursing. 4. The preparation of nurses in rural areas in the skills of planning and implementation of local nursing continuing education programs. 5. The development and implementation of strategies for exposing the public to new roles of nurses through the use of mass media.
