Nursing Resource Centers Open Across CEE
Originally published in AIHA's CommonHealth, Spring 1998.Nurses in Tuzla, Bosnia and Kosice, Slovak Republic celebrated the opening of two Nursing Resource Centers (NRCs) in March, kicking off a series of spring NRC openings across CEE.
US Ambassador to Bosnia Richard Kauzlarich attended the March 5 opening of the Tuzla NRC at the University Clinical Center of Tuzla, while Kosice Faculty Hospital inaugurated its NRC March 8. As educational and training sites for nurses from throughout the partnership hospitals' immediate region, the centers are equipped with books, mannequins, educational videos, CD-ROMs and a variety of other educational equipment such as VCRs and slide projectors. The NRCs provide an avenue for nurses to disseminate information, expand their clinical and leadership skills and develop materials for workshops and conferences.
Four additional NRCs were scheduled to open in the Slovak Republic, Czech Republic, Croatia and Hungary in April and May. The first NRC in CEE opened in Riga, Latvia last September.
