Abstract: Objective: To investigate the status of Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) in tertiary and secondary hospitals in Beijing. Methods: A self-administered questionnaire was used to investigate 2826 nurses from 23 tertiary or secondary general hospitals in Beijing by a stratified sampling method. Results: Among the respondents, 87.65% recognized the importance of CNE program, 88.01% showed support on CNE, 77.31% of them believed the helpfulness of current CNE program, and 71.95% recognized the practicability of current CNE program. The top three motivations of nurses to involve in CNE program were: obtaining the required CNE credits, improving the overall comprehensive quality, and enhancing the professional knowledge. The top two barriers were: time constraints, and location inconvenient. Conclusion: The CNE has been widely performed and accepted by most of nurses in Beijing. However, several factors, including the nursing committee, organization, individual and family, should take into the account when designing and performing the future CNE program.
