Learning Activity #13 (Online)
Keeping Current, Continued Education
Overview:
The need for continuing education in professions like nursing is well recognized. The knowledge and skills that you are graduating with are up to date at this point and time. However, the world of nursing is changing along with more global changes. Technology, new discoveries in medicine and health theory, the advancement of nursing theory and practice procedures, and the growing diversity of the population all make continuing education absolutely essential for 21st century nurses.
The Canadian Nurses Association and the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia both support the need for nurses to engage in annual professional development activities. During the registration renewal process, every nurse is now required to reflect and assess their learning needs and initiatives on an ongoing basis. It is imperative that you begin to map out a learning plan for yourself to keep abreast of changes and developments and ensure that you are able to give intelligent, current and evidence-based care to your clients.
