Background of the Study
Lifelong learning and continuous professional development are essential components of nursing practice, ensuring that nurses remain competent and up-to-date with advancements in healthcare. Positive attitudes towards ongoing education can lead to improved patient care and career satisfaction. In Kebbi State, Nigeria, evaluating nurses' attitudes towards lifelong learning can provide insights into the effectiveness of current professional development initiatives and identify areas for improvement.
