Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Sustaining an essential level of specific knowledge, skills, and abilities for the competent practice of professional nursing in today's healthcare environment is imperative. Entry into the field of nursing first compels a commitment to lifelong education and lifelong learning--whether voluntary or mandatory. Today, educators most often enhance a practitioner's competency and professional accountability through a variety of continuing professional education offerings. This article offers specific suggestions that can help trauma nurses choose their learning ventures wisely and optimize their ongoing investment of time, effort, and money.
