ABSTRACT
Staff nurses (n = 403) and nurse executives (n = 82) were surveyed to determine the continuing education (CE) needs of hospital-based nurses in Alabama. Nurse executives preferred on-site, live offerings on Wednesday. Staff nurses preferred on-site, live offerings on Monday or Tuesday. Findings indicated that there was a difference in: (a) nurse executives' and staff nurses' perception of reimbursement policies, (b) nurse executives' and staff nurses' choice for days of week preferred, and (c) reimbursement policies and practices for RNs and LPNs.

The purpose of this study was to determine if health locus of control and social network are predictors of adolescent risk-taking. Findings demonstrated that 12% of the variance in risk-taking could be explained by 2 of the 3 dimensions of health locus of control (internal and powerful other health locus of control subscales), and social network.
