In a healthcare scenario, to enhance the delivery of high-quality, cost-effective and safe care, professional nurses are mandated to update their knowledge and competence through CNE. This is possible only by having a standard uniform system of CNE implementation guidelines across the country. Through an in-depth analysis of key literature, we explore the need and importance of CNE, how CNE differs from In-service education, Different approaches of CNE, steps to conduct a CNE program, Origin of CNE in India, Scenario of CNE inside and outside of India, Role of different Regulatory bodies, challenges and barriers hampering the smooth functioning of CNE.
