title: Nursing skills fair: gaining knowledge with fun and games.
abstract: The body of nursing knowledge continues to expand and the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) mandates managers and educators to maintain competence in their nursing staff members. Stricter reimbursement criteria for hospital care, however, severely restrict education budgets. Educational programs can be offered at a reasonable cost without putting the adult learner to sleep! The development and implementation of a successful nursing skills fair is discussed.
