 INTRODUCTION OF CNE
IN NURSING
• “Let us never consider ourselves as finished nurses…..
• We must be learning all our lives”
• -Florence Nightingale
• The idea of continuing education in nursing is as old as
organized nursing, but the concept of lifelong learning for
the practitioner has developed slowly
• The history of continuing education in nursing has shown
that educational institutions generally have been slow to
accept responsibility for assisting the practitioner who
wishes to add to her nursing knowledge and skill.
 DEFINITION
• According to ANA, “Continuing nursing education is
defined as “ planned educational activities intended to
build upon the educational and experiential bases of the
professional nurses for the enhancement of practice ,
education ,administration and research or theory
development to the end of improving the health of the
public .”
• Acc to dictionary of education 
• “Continuing education is any extension of opportunities
for reading, study and training to young persons and
adults following their completion of or withdrawal from
full-time school and college programs”
•  
 NEED IN CNE
• Rapid technological advances related to knowledge
explosion have greatly altered the practice of nursing
• The gap between scientific knowledge and its
application grows wider each year as a result of
multiple influences
• Elimination of certain illnesses, particularly the
communicable diseases
• New drugs to cure some illnesses and alter the course
of many
• Surgeries are being performed successfully in areas
that would not have been attempted 10-20 years ago

 PLANNING FOR CONTINUING
EDUCATION PROGRAMME

Planning is the key stone for the administrative

process .without adequate planning ,
continuing education offerings are
fragmented and often unrelated. A successful
continuing education programme is the result
of careful and detailed planning.

levels, local , state , regional and
national and eventually international to
avoid publication of efforts and to help
keep at minimum gap in meeting the
continuing education needs of nurses.

 STEPS IN CONTINUING
PROGRAMME DEVELOPMENT
In order to increase the probability that continuing
education programs have an impact on professional
competence performance , the following steps are
helpful :-
• Identify problem that focus on health care.
• Analyze needs or problems to determine if there is a
potential educational solution.
• Identify potential facilitators of and barriers to the
learning process.

 
 CONT……
 Select educational needs based on a priority system.
 State educational goals and objectives for the selected
needs.
 Select or design a learning experience to meet the goals
and objectives.
 Implement the learning experience.
 Evaluate the extent to which learners achieved objectives.
 Determine the extent to which the original problems has
been reduced.
 Identify and additional tasks necessary to meet the need
based on evaluation data.

 STEPS IN CONDUCTING CONTINUING
EDUCATION IN NURSING
 Conduct needs assessment
 Establish overall goals
 Conduct task analysis
 Specify objectives
 Develop assessment strategies
 Select methods and media
 Produce materials
 Conduct formative evaluation (revise as required)

CONDUCT NEED ASSESSMENT

Needs assessment is a critical of a

systematic approach to developing
educational project with in the
organization. The approach to
needs assessment in continue
education for the health

measureable, observable and verifiable. The specific
objective formed should be directly related to the needs
assessment of the learner . the directs the organizer to

teaching and materials used for teaching . it also help them
in developing the evaluation strategies.
It helps the learner to recognize and realize what to be
learned out of participating such continuing nursing
education program.

assessment strategies to evaluate at the end of
the program. The evaluation strategies are

education programe is conducted
using the predetermined methods
and media. It involves the actual
participation of the learn.
 CONDUCT FORMATIVE
EVALUATION
Formative evaluation is an ongoing
evaluation which is done while the
programme is in progress. It gives the
immediate feedback to the organizer. based
