The vast majority of clients in long-term care facilities are elderly, but only half the RNs working with these clients had any specific training related to the elderly either before or after graduation. The majority of respondents preferred to attend educational offerings rather than read journal articles and felt it was beneficial to leave their facility to interact with peers from other agencies. A majority of the nurses read general interest nursing journals rather than ones specifically geared to gerontological nursing or geriatrics. Within an agency, time should be set aside for discussions and nurses should be encouraged to network outside the facility; guest staff nurses should also be encouraged to present new ideas.
长期护理机构中的绝大多数客户都是老年人，但在这些机构工作的注册护士中，只有一半在毕业前后接受过与老年人相关的任何特定培训。大多数受访者更喜欢参加教育培训，而不是阅读期刊文章，并且认为离开所在机构与其他机构的同行交流是有益的。大多数护士阅读的是大众护理期刊，而不是专门针对老年护理或老年医学的期刊。在机构内部，应该留出时间进行讨论，并且应该鼓励护士在机构外部建立联系；还应该鼓励客座护士提出新想法。
