abstract: Updating knowledge is important in maintaining effective nursing competency. The hectic pace of health care delivery in the 1990s does not always allow for attending day-long continuing education sessions. This article presents creative teaching-learning strategies that are self-paced, interesting, and less time intensive, designed to update nurses on sexually transmitted diseases.
