CONTINUING EDUCATION IN THE JOURNAL

Dear RNO Member: 
 

Beginning with this issue, we will provide you with an opportunity to earn 
continuing education credits on line. Each issue will contain a designated article for you 
to read. Following the article will be a set of questions and an evaluation form for the 
learning experience that you will also need to complete and send in with your fee. You 
will need to print the forms and mail them with your check or money order.  Once these 
are received, I will send you a certificate documenting your course completion and 
continuing education credits.  There are complete instructions in every issue to guide you 
on completing materials. 

In upcoming issues, we will focus on educational, practice, or administrative 
content  that specifically applies to or is of interest to rural nurses. We believe this will 
provide a method for you to update your knowledge on a variety of topics right from the 
convenience of your own home or practice setting.  

In addition, I would like to work with individuals that would like to develop on 
line learning modules on topics that would benefit rural nurses. If you are interested in 
developing course materials, please contact me. These would be a welcome addition to 
our website and would be an excellent way to share important content. 

I look forward to working with you and believe this is an exciting beginning.  
 
Sincerely yours,
