An in-house program of continuing education for perinatal nurses

The value of continuing education for nurses continues to be stressed by nursing educators and nursing administrators. An in-house program, similar to the one described above, could be useful for other acute-care health facilities. It seems highly probable that certification by a recognized credentials-granting agency, especially a specialty of nursing, such as obstetrics or neonatology, wil become an important evaluation tool for those who employ nurses. It seems logical and cost-effective for nurses to take advantage of this opportunity to learn from resources in their own institution.
