The 21st Century Health Care Forum discusses the future of Continuing Education SAN FRANCISCO, June 2
SAN FRANCISCO, June 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Accredited online nursing courses
are replacing traditional classroom-based courses, offering nurses a more
convenient method for receiving credit, while providing flexibility in their
credentialing options.
Ann Johnson, CEO of Wild Iris Medical Education took part in the 21st
Century Health Care Forum, a feature on Sky Radio, part of American Airlines
In-flight Radio Broadcast. She discussed new trends in continuing education,
including why there has been an increase in the popularity of online courses.
The responsibility for continuing education that nurses are required to
complete to maintain their licenses is shifting, and in many cases has shifted
completely, from the hospitals to the individual nurses. Without a
centralized, convenient location for education, such as a hospital or
associated university, individuals are turning more and more to the Internet
to fulfill their continuing education needs.
The changing nature of nursing is also drawing many nurses online. For
example, telephone nursing practitioners, or others who need to be licensed in
several different states, can keep up all of their state-specific nursing
requirements in one place.

education on Sky Radio or listen online at
