Attending Staff Meetings

I agree with the training course, suggesting regular staff meetings. This is the place to exchange ideas, to know new rules/regulations, to get new updates, to get new policies, and to obtain feedback from bosses and co-workers. To also know if we can improve the way we do business and we are all in tuned following the institution's policies to maintain licensing and established protocol.

Chart of Resources/BLS

I find the Chart of Resources to be very helpful and informative. I believe in an institution we are all a big team working together towards a common goal. On the other hand, I have visited the Bureau of Labor Statistics and I find it very helpful when looking to educate myself in a specific career.
