From the Paper:

"The problem of facilitating effective and efficient staff in-services is a large one in the nursing profession. Due to time and staff shortages, as well as the fact that nursing professionals are no longer students, but are indeed skilled professionals, it can be difficult to provide quality training to staff members. Yet, despite the difficulties which face nursing staff educators, in-services are necessary, as continued education is needed to keep nurses on the cutting edge of medical practice, for the sake of the patients. That is why the well-planned and integrated use of instructional methods is so very important to nursing staff in-services. This paper will focus on the use of both traditional and non-traditional instructional methods as they might be incorporated at a staff in-service for a small group of colleagues on a high-risk obstetrics unit."
