title: Mandatory continuing education relevancy for nurses with advanced preparation.
abstract: This descriptive study reports a survey of states on their regulations mandating continuing education for relicensure of professional nurses. The findings reveal that mandates are useful for a minority of unmotivated nurses, but problematic for nurses in advanced practice, education, and research.
