| Abstract: | Staff nurses are currently being given the opportunity to present inservice offerings as a criterion for the professional performance evaluation. Unfortunately, staff nurses, even those with baccalaureate preparation, generally have not been prepared in strategies for effective teaching. Consequently, many staff nurses either avoid this opportunity altogether or may proceed with the "seat of the pants" approach, making learning a chance event. This article sets forth 10 common-sense teaching strategies for effective inservice education presentations with the goal of encouraging and empowering staff nurses to share their particular area of expertise with their peers. |
