  • Title: Using games to demonstrate competency.
    Author: Pauli P.
    Journal: J Nurses Staff Dev; 2005; 21(6):272-6. PubMed ID: 16331083.
    Abstract:
    Providing annual mandatory safety training while finding ways to assess the competency of staff creates several challenges. Meeting staff's needs, especially when working with diverse staff of various educational levels, languages, and learning abilities, as well as meeting the institution's needs for training and assessment can be especially difficult. The author describes a gaming strategy that promotes learning, self-efficacy, and assesses staff competency using a cooperative and interactive learning approach.
