serving patients across New England: we are a national
leader in patient-centered health care
• Level 1 trauma center with an air ambulance service
• Norris Cotton Cancer Center

20. Nursing Professional Development
• Vital phase of lifelong learning in which nurses engage
to:
– Develop and maintain competence,
– Enhance professional nursing practice,
– Support achievement of career goals.
American Nurses Association,
2000
21. Continuing Nursing Education
• Systematic professional learning experiences designed
to augment the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of
nurses, thereby enriching nurses’ contribution to quality
health care and the pursuit of professional career goals
(ANA, 2000).
22. Adult Learners (Nurses)
When providing education for nurses, educators should:
– involve learners in determining their own needs,
– respect the unique perspective, knowledge, and skill set of each learner,
– recognize that other responsibilities may interfere with readiness,
participation, or learning achievement,
– provide opportunities for active engagement in the learning,
– assess learners’ past experiences and incorporate them into the
educational activity,
– provide frequent positive reinforcement,
– Create an environment that is conducive to learning,
– Respond to evaluation feedback to make changes in future activities.
SAGE ON THE STAGE VS GUIDE ON THE SIDE!
23. Educational Process
• An educational activity is a “planned, organized effort
aimed at accomplishing educational objectives” and can
occur in a variety of forms. (e.g. seminar, conference)
ANA, 2000
• Similar to Nursing Process
1. Assessment
2. Planning
3. Implementation
4. Evaluation
24. Needs Assessment
• Process of collecting data to identify gaps between
actual and desired knowledge, skills, and/or attitudes.
– Formal or informal
• Interviews
• Observation
• Surveys
– From stakeholders including:
• Nurses, other healthcare professionals,
• Patients,
• Nurse practice acts,
• Licensure requirements,
• Literature,
• Program evaluation data
25. Planning
In general, must have:
– Clear purpose or goal statement,
– Written outcomes statement related to what the learner will be
able to do at the conclusion of the activity.
• Example: The purpose of this activity is to enable the learner to
perform a dressing change using sterile technique.
– Measurable objectives that are appropriate for the audience, and
based on the identified needs,
– One behavior only- action verb
– Learner perspective
– Who, what , how
• Example: At the conclusion of the program, the learner should be
able to demonstrate a sterile dressing change following hospital
guidelines.
26. Planning
– Content that is congruent with the purpose and objectives,
• Subject matter is organized in a logical sequence
• Faculty
– Content expertise
– Engaging presentation style
– Teaching/learning strategies
• Instructional methods
– Lecture
– Group discussion
– Demonstration
– Role play
– Case study
27. Credit
• Awarding contact hours
• One contact hour equals 60 minutes
• Minimum number equals 30 minutes or .5 contact hours
28. Implementation
• Presentation
– Know the audience and involve them in the process
• Handouts can be helpful
– Evidence based content when appropriate
– Select content based on learning objectives
– Three to five core messages
– Time for questions and answers, discussion
– Conclude with call to action, inspiration, or summary
29. Evaluation
• Determines the effectiveness of the program
• Systematic, ongoing process
• Educators and learners are involved in the process
• Effectiveness is directly related to the achievement of the
objectives
• Improves the effectiveness of educational programming
• Summative evaluation: occurs upon completion of the
activity
30. Evaluation Tools
• Learner reaction/satisfaction and self report of
achievement
• Pre-post tests
• Return demonstration
• Direct observation
31. Outcomes of Education
– End result of the learning activity measured
by written evaluation or change in knowledge,
competence, practice, or patient care.
– Application: how will the learner apply the new
knowledge or the new practice?
• Will it make a difference in patient care?
32. Responsibilities of the Provider of
Continuing Nursing Education
• Nurse Planner is responsible for overall education plan
– Actively participates in needs assessment, planning,
implementation, and evaluation of each activity
• Discloses the plan to learners prior to the activity
• Keeps a list of participant names on file for each activity
• Documentation of completion of the activity and provides
a copy to each learner that includes:
– Title,
– Date
– Learner’s name
– Number of contact hours earned
33. American Nurses Credentialing Center
• Recognizes organizations that have demonstrated
excellence in the ability to deliver Continuing Nursing
Education
• Core Values include:
– Integrity of the process
– Promote and maintain competence regarding the
criteria
– Focus on quality in the accreditation process and in
achieving learner outcomes (enhancing Nursing
Professional Development)
– Value and be engaged in lifelong learning
34. The Future: ANCC Provider?
• Something to consider:
• ANCC accreditation demonstrates that organizations
such as nursing groups, hospitals and health ministries
meet rigorous standards for providing continuing nursing
education to nurses.
• Organizations that invest in continuing education for
nurses can improve the professional practice of nursing
and patient outcomes.
• Steps to Eligibility
Requires an organization use ANCC criteria for at least 6 months
prior to application. Organizations outside the US must also
independently verify credentials of nurse leaders coordinating
continuing education, a process that can take up to 3 months.
35. ANCC: Resources
• Resources
ANCC offers free and low-cost resources to help
you plan, implement, and evaluate CNE
activities according to ANCC standards for
educational design, evidence-based content,
and testing methodology.

Notes de l'éditeur
Establish purpose
Identify target audience
Select a format/method
Analyze and share results
Must match the audience characteristics, objectives, content, setting for the education, time, resources (mannequin, materials (A-V) etc,
Instructional methods
Lecture – structured, useful when large amount of information must be presented to a large group
Group discussion – exchange of information and opinions, problem solving, visuals, hands on activities, less faculty control
Demonstration – use of psychomotor skills, visual, auditory, and tactile senses, requires time and equipment and small group sizes
Role play – experiential, learners participate in dramatization of a real situation: best done in small groups. Includes debriefing
Case study – application of theory to reality based situation – reinforces what is presented in class
Summative evaluation is used to determine learner outcomes and activity effectiveness.
