Abstract
The development of continuing education in nursing closely parallels that of adult education (Table). The primary models researchers have used in studying nursing have been the paradigms of adult education. In today's society, rapid development of technology and expansion of knowledge have made necessary a frequent update of nursing skills. This need in turn has led to mandatory continuing education (CE).Keywords
