Getting Staff Excited for Education

[IowaBSN]

i am currently working as a staff development nurse educator. we provide monthly self-studies, in-services, training etc. although we do offer a wide variety of training and education i believe a great deal of professional growth can take place from venturing outside of the hospital and attending ceu opportunities elsewhere. however, the nurses at our facility are not attending outside ceu opportunities because they are able to acquire adequate contact hours through the monthly self-studies and other training provided by our facility for their license renewal. does anyone have any ideas on how to encourage nursing staff to take the initiative to seek out these opportunities and attend for the benefit of their own professional growth?

I would be happy if I could get them to come to the things I offer in our own facility.
