Abstract:
Collaboration among all stakeholders is imperative in the design of a program to meet the educational needs of non-clinical staff as well as medical-surgical, transitional care, and critical care nurses to provide quality care for stroke patients. The responsibility for educating hospital employees most often falls to staff development educators. The described program is unique in that direct-care nurses played an integral role in the development, implementation, and maintenance of this annual program. Nurses who participated in the development of the education plan served as educators and staffed stroke stations at the Unit Skills Day. Collaboration and involvement of all stakeholders were key contributors to the success of the staff stroke educational program.
