本文提出了一个讨论有关的最近决定在澳大利亚引进强制性的持续专业发展（CPD）的护士。从历史上看，围绕强制性CPD要求一直存在国际辩论;这场辩论正在进行中，因为澳大利亚护士面临着来自各种提供者的各种CPD产品。本文的目的是研究如何在澳大利亚的国家护理注册的强制性持续专业发展的要求已经演变，并提出了一个分析，这将意味着澳大利亚护士。尚待确定的是如何衡量专业发展和专业发展教育的有效性。这对国际社会很重要，文献中一致认为专业发展与持续教育有关。关于这种专业发展是否应该是强制性的，提出了相互矛盾的论点。提出了一个当代的讨论对护士的强制性持续专业发展的要求的当前和潜在的影响，本讨论文件利用澳大利亚目前的国家政策和持续专业发展的运作情况下，检查护士作出的选择，以满足他们的立法要求。护士在进行CPD面临的障碍提出了额外的参数。有效的CPD的追求是复杂的，应该包括不同的情况下，护士和个人的学习风格。
This paper presents a discussion related to the recent decision in Australia to introduce mandatory Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for nurses. Historically there has been international debate surrounding mandatory CPD requirements; this debate is ongoing as Australian nurses face a diverse range of CPD offerings from a variety of providers. The purpose of this paper is to examine how mandatory CPD requirements for national nursing registration in Australia have evolved and to present an analysis of what this will mean for Australian nurses. What is yet to be determined is how to measure professional development and the effectiveness of professional development education. This is important to the international community with consensus in the literature that professional development is linked to ongoing education. Contradicting arguments are presented about whether this professional development should be mandatory. Presenting a contemporary discussion about the current and potential impact of mandatory CPD requirements for nurses, this discussion paper utilises the case of Australia’s current national policy and CPD operation to examine the choices that nurses make in order to fulfil their legislative requirements. Additional arguments are presented about the barriers nurses face in undertaking CPD. The quest for effective CPD is complex and should incorporate different situations for nurses and individual learning styles.
