title: Using criticisms to elicit and meet unit-based learning needs.
abstract: A strategy using staff nurses' criticisms is described, which may be a useful addition to the repertoire of strategies used by staff development educators to elicit and meet unit-based learning needs. It is also argued that this strategy has the potential to equip staff nurses to move more independently from criticism to problem setting and problem solving.
