title: A systematic evaluation of a poster presentation.
abstract: The purpose of this study was to describe an alternative approach to educating nurses and comparing attendance rates between traditional and alternative programs. In these times of scarce nursing resources, traditional methods of staff development have been found to be ineffective. Frequently, nurses are unwilling to leave their patient care responsibilities to attend even short presentations at a given place and time. A poster presentation designed for oncology nurses attracted 65% of all possible participants.
