Continuing education in nursing: a methodological proposal

The aim of this paper is to present a study on the Continuing Education Program of a Teaching Hospital in the city of São Paulo, aiming to raise subsidies for its improvement from an interdisciplinary point of view. Data were collected with the program coordinators by means of a semi-structured interview and the questionnaire consisted of open and multiple-choice questions applied to 100 nurses into the Hospital. The results suggested some thoughts on the development of nursing educational processes, identifying challenges to be exceeded by the group. It was concluded that to change the nursing professional education into a continuous process, it must be considered the daily work as a support of the educational process, source of knowledge and object of transformation, which will favor a collective and interdisciplinary participation.
