Many nursing journals offer continuing education for a small fee. The increase in the use of technology allows for web-based education and seminars, online training opportunities, and interactive educational forums. These provide training opportunities in addition to attending a national conference or meeting. Institutions are not committing more to continuing education for nurses and other health care providers. Support for education is too sensitive to random budget cuts in times of economic crisis, and many institutions do not provide time or money for nurses or other professionals to attend conferences and other continuing education events. Some nurses lack personal commitment to the value of continuing education as part of their professional responsibility. Too often, hospital or local training opportunities are poorly attended, making it less likely that such events will be offered in the future. Benefits: Definition of Continuing Nursing Care
