- To explore the implications of implementing Mandatory Continuing Education (MCE) for nurses.
- To identify potential enforcement mechanisms for MCE requirements.
Main Methods:
- Conceptual analysis of nursing regulatory policies.
- Examination of professional registration processes.
Main Results:
- The most probable enforcement method for MCE involves linking it to the renewal of annual nursing registration.
