Behind the Scenes of Self-Study CE
Cynthia Saver, RN, MS
Peeking behind the scenes of self-study continuing education programs at Nursing Spectrum CE is a bit like visiting the set of a popular TV show. You'll find a team of people collaborating in masterful synergy to produce a quality product.

Ideas and pitches
Where do all those great ideas for CE programs come from? Like most great entertainment, the answer is "from real life." Nan Callender-Price, RN, MA, director/editor of CE, learner-paced activities, helps real life along by conducting regular needs assessments to identify "hot" topics in the nursing field.

In addition, regular writers for Nursing Spectrum CE aren't shy about pitching their own ideas. How those ideas rise to the top makes for some interesting stories.
