Abstract

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that there are 2.9 million registered nurses in the U.S who practice in a variety of settings including faith communities. The faith community nurse blends care of the spirit along with physical health to prevent or decrease illnesses. To stay informed of the latest evidenced-based practice, continuing education is essential. Due to many factors; work schedules, family, and location, meeting educational needs can be a challenge. The aim of this study was to examine nurses’ preferences related to delivery methods and day/time as well as topics of interest that influence nurses’ decisions when choosing educational opportunities.
