Continuing nursing education can help nurses to stay current on the latest best practices and also become more knowledgeable about a particular area of interest; furthermore, the completion of continuing nursing education initiatives is often a requirement to maintain certifications or licenses that serve to demonstrate nurses' qualifications to employers, patients, and families. This study aimed to identify the preferences of nurses regarding continuing nursing education, educational requirements, and their perceptions about the role of universities in the delivery of continuing nursing education programs to hospital staff. The study employed a cross-sectional descriptive exploratory design utilizing a convenience sample of 100 nurses working in the critical care departments of two hospitals in Al-Qassim, KSA (government and private). A structured questionnaire, which was constructed by the researcher, was distributed to nurses over one month. The collected data were analyzed and tabulated using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software program (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). All ethical principles of scientific research were considered. As per nurses' opinions in the results, the benefits of continuing nursing education include improving knowledge and skills, critical thinking, and decision-making as well as promoting professional growth. Nurses' preferable ways of getting continuing education were attending conferences or live classroom lectures, online, and through journals, respectively. They preferred participating in a monthly-based schedule, i.e., one day a week for less than three hours. Nurses have a positive belief that universities should hold more responsibility for promoting continuing education at hospitals. Creating partnerships between hospitals and the nursing faculties or colleges of the local community is highly recommended. Continuing nursing education programs must be built upon the survey of nurses' opinions about the most important or requested topics from the nurses' points of view.

Analysis of the Concept Continuing Education in Nursing Education
Journal of Education and Educational Development, 2018
The term continuing education is extensively used throughout nursing education literature. This paper sought to reexamine the concept 'continuing education' for its meaning, relevance and appropriateness of application. The authors examined the definitions of continuing education from dictionaries, thesauruses, and current nursing education literature for meanings, usages, attributes, antecedents and consequences in line with Walker and Avant (2005) method of concept analysis. Model, borderline, and contrary cases were also presented. The paper concludes that the development of a theory of continuing education is usually preceded by a logical analysis of the concept which includes distinguishing properties, antecedents and outcomes of further education. The subsequent step in the development of the theory of lifelong education requires establishing theoretical relationships between perceptions, motivation and barriers to continuing education. It recommends that empirical studies of further education, whether qualitative or quantitative can be carried out to find out the effects of lifelong education on the nursing profession to enhance research in nursing and advance professionalism in nursing.
