Abstract
Knowing how to think, apply, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate are crucial skills for nursing professionals. Development of critical thinking skills requires educational involvement beyond the level of basic preparation. The diffusion of nursing knowledge afforded by continuing education in nursing makes it the perfect milieu for the enhancement and continuous development of critical thinking skills.Keywords
