Abstract
This empirical study explored the attitudes and participation of registered nurses (RNs) in New South Wales (NSW), Australia in continuing professional education (CPE). A random sample of 500 RNs from across NSW was surveyed. Three hundred and forty seven (69%) responses were received. Findings showed a positive attitude toward CPE and a willingness to meet the necessary costs. However, the majority of RNs surveyed opposed the introduction of mandatory CPE, a finding that shows CPE may be an unnecessary measure in Australia. The findings suggest an already high participation rate in CPE as well as strategies alternative to mandatory CPE that would further enhance CPE participation.
