    Background:

    • The nursing home sector employs over 10% of registered nurses.
    • Increasing patient dependency and workload are reported by nursing home nurses.
    • Rising training needs are evident within this sector.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate employer support levels for nursing home nurses.
    • To identify challenges faced in continuing professional development.
    • To explore the implications of these challenges on nursing home care.

    Main Methods:

    • A seminar was attended by 41 nursing home nurses.
    • Data was collected on employer support and professional development difficulties.
    • Nurses' anticipated challenges with PREP requirements were assessed.

    Main Results:

    • Nearly two-thirds of nurses received no employer support.
    • A similar proportion struggled to access relevant professional education.
    • Almost two-thirds foresaw difficulties in meeting PREP requirements.

    Conclusions:

    • Lack of employer support and access to training hinders professional development for nursing home nurses.
    • Difficulties in professional development have implications for nurse recruitment, retention, and quality of care.
    • Recommendations include further research, government action for university-nursing home links, and PREP funding.
