Abstract:
This article describes survey results from 24 collegiate continuing nursing education programs in the United States. The purpose was to collect baseline data regarding the role of the continuing education (CE) administrator, the characteristics of financial information, and the organizational structure of the department. The findings showed that roles and responsibilities of the directors in continuing nursing education include both administrative activities and faculty responsibilities. The trend toward decreasing enrollments of CE registrants will make it imperative for the CE administrator to explore creative programming directions, configure an affordable staffing arrangement within the organization, and generate new sources of program revenue.
