    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Healthcare Management
    • Professional Development

    Background:

    • Continuing education (CE) is vital for nurses to maintain skills and licensure.
    • Employer support for nursing CE varies significantly, impacting professional growth.
    • Understanding factors influencing employer support is crucial for workforce development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify key determinants of employer support for nursing continuing education attendance.
    • To analyze the relationship between nurse characteristics and employer-funded CE opportunities.
    • To explore the underlying rationale for employer investment in nursing professional development.

    Main Methods:

    • Cross-sectional study analyzing data from 1,171 nurses.
    • Investigated relationships between age, education, job characteristics, income, and employer support for CE.
    • Statistical analysis to determine significant correlations.

    Main Results:

    • Position level and annual income were positively associated with employer support for CE.
    • Nurses in higher positions and with higher incomes received more employer-funded CE.
    • Evidence suggests employer support is linked to professional status indicators.

    Conclusions:

    • Employer support for nursing CE appears to be influenced by professional status indicators like position and income.
    • Findings suggest a potential disconnect between employer support criteria and the actual needs of nurses for professional development.
    • Further research is warranted to explore strategies for equitable employer support of nursing CE across all professional levels.
