title: Continuing education needs of hospital-based nurses in Alabama.
abstract: Staff nurses (n = 403) and nurse executives (n = 82) were surveyed to determine the continuing education (CE) needs of hospital-based nurses in Alabama. Nurse executives preferred on-site, live offerings on Wednesday. Staff nurses preferred on-site, live offerings on Monday or Tuesday. Findings indicated that there was a difference in: (a) nurse executives' and staff nurses' perception of reimbursement policies, (b) nurse executives' and staff nurses' choice for days of week preferred, and (c) reimbursement policies and practices for RNs and LPNs.
