                      Continuing Education


                      To help our newly-hired RNs become better integrated with hospital staff, Moses Taylor Hospital offers a Graduate Nurse Program. The ten week orientation program helps develop critical-thinking skills, as well as strengthen clinical practice.

                      Experienced professional nurses at Moses Taylor will work with Graduate Nurses by facilitating clinical orientation on the hospital floor. Nurse educators are available throughout the entire orientation, covering every shift. Currently utilizing a self-reflection/journaling process, Nurse Educators are developing a structured preceptor program.

                      Moses Taylor Hospital also offers continuing education credits at little to NO COST.

                      Thirty continuing education credits are required every two years to maintain a license.

                      • We offer self learning packets, which are state board approved. 1 credit per self learning packets. It is a 2 sheet education packet with a 10 question post test.
                      • We have approximately 120 "Growing up with Us" self learning packets. We get new ones each month. Nursing staff would be allowed to do two per week.
                      • Every six months nurses will be sent a certificate of completion that you will need to keep to provide proof of compliance if you are audited by state board.
                      • We offer credits on nursing related grand rounds, held Wednesdays at 12 p.m. in the 2W conference room. A certificate of completion is provided at the end of the program. Your manager will know which programs are being offered.
                      • We have Lunch and Learn Physician or Staff Development directed programs that are all one continuing education credits. A certificate of completion is provided at the end of the program. Your manager will know which programs are being offered.
                      • Online, there are numerous programs on line that are free. Search for free nursing continuing education. In addition, if we get any free programming offered to us, we provide your manager with that website.
