THIS 1966 WORKSHOP DEALT WITH THE PREPARATION OF AUTO-TUTORIAL LABORATORY TECHNIQUES FOR NURSING TRAINING FOR GRADUATES, STUDENTS, AIDES, AND PATIENTS. TAPE RECORDERS, FORMS, TRANSPARENCIES, AND OTHER AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS BRING DISCUSSION, DEMONSTRATION, AND PRACTICE INTO CLOSE SEQUENCE. THEY ARE USEFUL (1) IN THE PRESENTATION OF MANY NURSING PROCEDURES (CARE OF CASTS, TRACTION, GOWNING, BED-MAKING, ETC.), (2) IN PRECONDITIONING THE STUDENT TO TRAUMATIC SIGHTS (EPILEPTIC SEIZURE, MAJOR SURGERY, AUTOPSY), (3) IN CLARIFICATION OR ADDED COMPREHENSION OF LECTURE MATERIALS, (4) IN PRESENTING INTERVIEW TECHNIQUES, (5) IN PROVIDING IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK AND THEREBY STRENGTHENING STUDENT-INSTRUCTOR RELATIONSHIPS, AND (6) IN ALLOWING MORE EFFECTIVE USE OF THE FACULTY IN TEACHING INCREASING NUMBERS OF STUDENTS. THE STUDENT SETS HIS OWN PACE AND, WITHIN REASON, MAY TAKE HIS TEST WHEN READY. THIS HAS SEVERAL POSITIVE RESULTS--(1) HIS MOTIVATION IS MAINTAINED, (2) HE GAINS SATISFACTION BY SHOWING THAT HE IS SURE OF HIS KNOWLEDGE, (3) HE IS NOT FRUSTRATED BY WORKING BESIDE SLOWER OR FASTER LEARNERS, (4) HE CAN USE THE INSTRUCTOR'S TIME MORE FLEXIBLY, AND (5) HE FINDS NO FLUCTUATION IN THE QUALITY OF HIS INSTRUCTION.
