Self-study packets: an in-service strategy for today's emergency department.
The self-study program has been a great success. Staff seized the opportunity for "hands-on," nonthreatening learning. The fear of asking questions and appearing less knowledgeable than peers in a group setting is removed, and new employees are grateful for the rapid accessibility of concise reference material. Everyone enjoys the freedom of fitting the in-service program into a routine day, rather than trying to adapt to a set time. Last, but not least, management reaps to the benefit of a program that satisfies the expectations of regulatory agencies and is virtually cost-free.
