Abstract
This study examines the advantages and difficulties of continuing professional development (CPD) for nurses working in Pangasinan community hospitals. Data from 120 nurses were gathered through total enumeration using a descriptive quantitative approach, and survey questionnaires were analyzed using the Average Weighted Mean. The results showed that nurses generally concur with psychological, financial, and physical obstacles, such as exhaustion, low workplace support, expenses, and burnout. Workplace culture varies, as evidenced by the ambiguous ratings given to organizational difficulties including a lack of mentorship and appreciation. Despite these obstacles, research from 2021 to 2026 confirms that CPD improves patient care, competence, and flexibility. The study draws attention to the disparity between nurses' understanding of the value of CPD and the structural barriers preventing involvement. nurses and improve healthcare outcomes. The findings highlight the necessity of financial subsidies, institutional assistance, and wellness integration to provide fair access. In the end, CPD is both essential and a shared duty that calls for cooperation to empower nurses and enhance healthcare performance.
