Continuing education in nursing has developed slowly over time from Florence Nightingale's view of nurses needing to learn throughout their lives. The rapid advancement of technology and medical knowledge has increased the need for continuing education to ensure nurses can provide highly skilled care. Continuing education helps nurses stay up to date in their field and improves both individual professional practice and patient care. It includes a variety of programs from orientation of new nurses to management training to programs focused on developing specific clinical skills. The planning and evaluation of continuing education programs involves assessing needs, designing and implementing training, and evaluating outcomes.
