Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) within the nursing research department involves the training and certification of nursing educators who specialize in research methodologies, evidence-based practice, and scholarly inquiry. These educators prepare nursing students and practicing nurses to critically appraise research literature, design and conduct research studies, and apply research findings to improve patient care outcomes. CNE activities may include curriculum development, teaching research methods and evidence-based practice principles, mentorship of research projects, and professional development opportunities for faculty.
