As Director of Nursing Education in a large hospital, you are working with nurse managers and your staff development specialists to update the policy on staff attending conferences so that is more effective policy and attendance is increased
What might you include in this policy? Select all that apply. 1. Specify criteria for staff to receive fees and/or time off.
2. Require staff who attend (receiving conference fee and/or time off) to present to staff after the conference.
3. Specify the procedure for applying time off and/or fees to attend a conference and time line.
4. Recognize the continuing education is an individual professional obligation and thus conference fees will not be provided.
5. The same policy should then be applied to staff in academic programs.
1, 2, 3
Explanation: 1. This is a reasonable approach so that staff do not feel some receive more than others.
2. This is reasonable approach as organization is providing support, and this also encourages staff to recognize this activity is important.
3. Procedures should be clear to all and followed.
4. This is professional responsibility, but no assistance with fees will limit staff from attending.
5. Staff in academic programs is different. For example, courses go on for some time so scheduling time off is more complex, cost is greater so same formula for paying for conference fees would not apply and the organization may not be able to handle the cost, and some organizations require certain grade attainment to get tuition reimbursement and this would not apply to a conference.
