Nurse Education and Training in the Aged Care Workplace

Nurse Education and Training in the Aged Care Workplace

The importance of providing ongoing nursing education and learning in aged care is discussed in this interesting session. How to manage change and provide a work environment that facilitates learning. Aged care services that value life-long-learning and nurture on-the-job educational opportunities have a better chance of retaining valuable staff and preserving staff morale.

• Tips for on-the-go teaching and learning activities for nursing/care staff, for elderly people who use the service and for their relatives/friends.
• RN-Division 1 and 2 nurses (registered nurses and enrolled nurses) mostly avoid or delay working in aged care. What can be done to create learning opportunities and incentives for student nurses during their aged care clinical placements so that newly graduated RNs are motivated to work with older people / residents early in their careers?
