The mountain goes to Muhammed: broadcast television for continuing education in nursing

To meet the needs of North Carolina nurses for leadership training as well as their need to have continuing education in their local community, the Continuing Education Program of the School of Nursing designed a course in leadership using the medium of broadcast television combined with direct instructor contact. Phase I prepares a group leader to coordinate Phase II in the local work-setting. Phase II is a series of ten two-hour classes in the participating home agency consisting of 1/2 hour of televised input-lecture, quizzes, dramatic vignettes and graphics- combined with 1 1/2 hours of practice which is guided by a workbook.
