Critical care education. A consortium approach.
Staff development specialists are being forced to look at more economical models to present traditional educational programs. In this article, the author describes a creative approach taken by a nurse educators' consortium in northern New Jersey to collaboratively organize and present a basic critical care course. Benefits to learners as well as educators are identified. Cost analysis of this program versus that of a more traditional approach demonstrates the savings for each of the participating hospitals.
