Access to continuing education (CE) for rural nurses is hampered by distance, cost factors, and the lack of sufficient personnel to provide coverage when nurses are away from work. Additionally, because rural nurses function as generalists rather than specialists, CE programs should focus on the generalist perspective. The Nevada Area Health Education Center (AHEC) has developed a partnership model for providing CE that addresses these considerations, bringing educational programs to the rural site eliminates travel, cost, and coverage problems for the hospitals. In turn, a close working relationship between AHEC and rural personnel to assess needs and coordinate the planning is critical. Attention to logistical detail is critical. The partnership model described is the foundation of a year-round CE program for nurses working in rural and frontier areas.
距离、成本因素以及护士离岗时缺乏足够人员提供替代，这些都阻碍了乡村护士获得继续教育（CE）。此外，由于乡村护士承担的是全科角色而非专科角色，继续教育项目应从全科角度出发。内华达地区卫生教育中心（AHEC）制定了一种提供继续教育的合作模式，该模式考虑到了这些因素，将教育项目带到乡村地区，消除了医院的出行、成本和人员替代问题。反过来，AHEC与乡村工作人员建立密切的工作关系以评估需求并协调规划至关重要。关注后勤细节也很关键。所描述的合作模式是为农村和偏远地区护士提供全年继续教育项目的基础。
