      Abstract
      It was the purpose of this investigation to gather descriptive data about continuing education programs for registered nurses in hospitals and special care homes in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. The data were collected to address the following program components: (a) organization and administration; (b) characteristics of program planning; and (c) issues related to continuing education programs for registered nurses. The specific focus of the study was the continuing education program offered to registered nurses from April 1, 1982 to March 31, 1983. The population for this study consisted of 3 hospitals and 12 special care homes which were all the accessible hospitals and special care homes in Saskatoon. Instruments used to collect the data included a pre-interview questionnaire and an interview schedule which were administered by the researcher to the person responsible for the continuing education program. Additional data were collected from program information which was provided in the form of handouts and pamphlets. In all, 16 continuing education programs for registered nurses in hospitals and special care homes in Saskatoon were identified. Variations were found in all program components investigated. As a result of these program variations, no typical profile of continuing education programs for registered nurses in hospitals and special care homes was found. Specific evidence of efforts of hospitals and special care homes to encourage registered nurses to attend continuing education activities outside of the employment setting was documented.
