Making gerontic continuing education accessible for rural nurses.

Special approaches need to be developed and used to make gerontic continuing education accessible to nurses in rural settings. Traditional workshops are time-intensive, and expensive to deliver, and are out of the reach of many nurses in rural settings because of great distances, inclement weather, expense, and lack of work coverage. The use of self-study modules featuring in-depth conversations with and demonstrations by gerontological experts is one way to economically deliver current gerontic continuing education to nurses in rural settings.
