title: The Association says no to Mandatory Continuing Education.
abstract: Mandatory Continuing Education (MCE) for nurses is a compulsory requirement for nurses to participate in continuing education in order to continue practising as a nurse. Should MCE be introduced, the most likely method of enforcing that requirement would be for it to be linked to a nurses' authority to practice, that is, it would be necessary to demonstrate the required MCE before annual registration would be renewed and a current practising certificate issued.
