Bradenton, FL (PRWEB) August 15, 2004 -- Beverly Healthcare, a leading provider of healthcare services to the elderly, has launched Beverly University - an online continuing education program for its nursing home administrators and nurses.
The proprietary Internet Learning Management System - located at www.BeverlyUniversity.com - was created by Care2Learn, a national provider of online continuing education for healthcare providers specific to the post-acute care industry.

Care2Learns wide ranging library of courses and in-service training programs give us an e-learning resource that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week," said Mike Jeffries, Vice President of Business Innovations at Beverly. Over time, we will augment Care2Learns standard programming with our own customized training courses - all conveniently located on the same Web site."
More than 1500 hours of accredited courses and in-service training programs currently are available to eligible Beverly staff.

The curriculum contains courses for nursing home administrators and nurses that help improve their skills and enable them to keep up-to-date on best practices.
Continuing education is a critical component of Beverlys commitment to quality care for its residents," said Jeffries.
E-Learning is a tremendous resource for health care professionals," said Laura More, one of Care2Learns founders.
