title: Continuing nursing education: why don't nurses go? Why don't they use what they learn?
abstract: There are barriers that block nurses from participating in continuing nursing education (CNE) and from using what they learn when they do participate. This article describes the problems nurses experience in going to, and using what they learn from, CNE. Possible causes for the barriers, and steps to take to surmount them, are discussed. This information has implications for human and financial resource management, staffing and scheduling, staff development, policy regulations, economics, and professional trends.
