Picking the right CE course

When looking for continuing education options, nursing home administrators should focus on 3 key areas: 1. Is the content of the program so compelling attendance seems compulsory? 2. Can the material presented assist job performance? 3. Will attendance at the conference reinforce and augment professional status? Seminars, audio teleconferences, self-study videos, video disks and satellite transmission offer a wide variety of continuing education opportunities. Education choices should be focused on needs assessment. Ultimately, every completed continuing education activity should have a positive effect on professionalization. State boards and local association chapters are a good place to begin searching for suitable continuing education opportunities.
