| "We provide the education and all the new equipment. For re-certification they might have to do some on their own, but we do provide a lot also." | Central |
| "Employer 1: It's always easier when you bring a speaker in, or our own in-service director, to provide the training because we save on the travel time. And maybe they can work part of their shift instead of being off all day. Our staff doesn't want to take a whole day to go somewhere else if that's not their regular scheduled day. That's another thing. Employer 2: That's very costly because you are paying them to go somewhere, you are paying their mileage, and you are paying the person that is replacing them on the floor." |

| "Most of the re-certification is done by having so many hours over a two-year period. So, it's not a specific class that you have to attend." | Central |
| "Employer 1: In order for that nurse to keep her certification, her license, she has to have that. Why can't we move to having some type of a test-out process, so that they don't have to sit there for two hours listening to somebody talk or go through some computerized training program to get that information? Can we develop a test-out system where it saves us the dollars, and they don't have to sit there, but we still have the competency that we need? Employer 2: There are some web test-outs that you can do, some web training. 'Infection control' happens to be one of them. The individual just goes online and tests out. But it still takes about an hour to do it." |
