<strong>Nursing</strong> Education Council —<strong>2011</strong><br />
The purpose <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Nursing</strong> Education Council is to<br />
promote, facilitate, and plan pr<strong>of</strong>essional development by<br />
setting and maintaining educational practice standards. The Council addresses<br />
identified educational issues and reviews and advises on staff development activities<br />
based on nursing practice and education standards and regulatory requirements.<br />
During <strong>2011</strong>, the <strong>Nursing</strong> Education Council participated in several activities which demonstrated<br />
progress toward achievement <strong>of</strong> goals. Several education referrals were made using a newly developed<br />
form(specific topics listed below). After review, the Council recommended education plans based on<br />
unique needs. A process for a standardized educational response to hospital-wide education was<br />
written. The online competency process was examined. A recommendation for several patient safety<br />
issues to be covered in annual unit clinical competencies was adopted by the Nurse Executive Council.<br />
The Council charter was revised to include measures <strong>of</strong> success. The <strong>Nursing</strong> Education Council expects<br />
to build on these successes during <strong>2011</strong>.<br />
