Abstract
Many states require long-term care facilities to develop mandatory training sessions on several safety, infection, and biohazard-related topics. The challenge for most facilities is how to make learning exciting and new. Many training sessions are mandatory, so the challenge for educators is how to take the boredom out of going to inservice programs. This article outlines an inservice program developed at Attic Angel Place in Madison, WI. Using the popular television show Wheel of Fortune as a model, the facility developed a similar game-like training program dealing with accident prevention, fire and tornado safety, and biohazardous materials. Of the facility's 175 full- and part-time employees, 75 attended the "Wheel of Disaster."
