COSTING NURSING EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Mary L. Fisher, Rosemary Hume, Rita Emerick · Journal for Nurses in Staff Development · 1998
Staff development departments are pressured to reveal the costs of their educational programs and to compete with outside vendors for programming. The process of implementing a spreadsheet template for costing out staff development programs is described. The template is easy to use and supports "what if" analysis. This model allows educators to evaluate cost implications of curricular decisions and to better negotiate with internal and external customers.
