Synthesis of Data from Alabama Board of Nursing (ABN) Approved Continuing Education Providers on Regulatory Issues Impacting Their Services
Date:
March 2008 This report provides a synthesis of data, obtained by a study, on opinions of providers of continuing education (CE) in nursing about regulatory issues affecting their practice and/or services. The purpose of the study was two fold: 1) to assess the receptiveness of providers to use a new, mandated electronic system of transmitting continuing education data to the Alabama Board of Nursing (ABN) as well as the effectiveness of implementing the system; and 2) to obtain providers’ opinions about other issues on regulations affecting providers’ roles. The overall aim is to use findings to better facilitate operation of the electronic system, and to facilitate Board decision making relative to rules governing mandatory continuing nursing education in the interest of public safety and welfare.
