The use of video/podcast in Nursing

Today there is a big demand for nurses to work all different shifts. This tends to be a problem when education comes into effect. Most nurses would like to be part of information sessions and courses offered at Hospitals or other institutions that they work at. By using video/podcasts all nurses could be on the same level of opportunity for learning. Video/podcasts can be accessed at any specific time or place that has Internet access. Also nurses can learn at a rate that they are most comfortable at, instead of being rushed or pushed by a time frame. I feel that using video/podcasts is a great way of giving the nurses a chance to upgrade there skills and learning.

I agree, at times it feels next to impossible to continue on with any sort of education when working shift work. You would think the institutions that provide these courses or educational opportunities would learn the shift work schedule. It seems like they always want to offer a course twice a week, smack dab in the middle of the day for example 10-2. No working nurse can fit that into her schedule. Continuing education in the shift work world is frusterating!
