“…Management of MV is complex and dynamic, requiring extensive knowledge and skills to perform complex, accurate and timely decision‐making to provide safe, best‐practice care and reduce the risk of complications (Blackwood et al, ; Duff, ; Fenstermacher and Hong, ; Rose and Gerdtz, ). Continuing education (CE) plays a critical role in building and maintaining knowledge by developing clinical reasoning and evaluation skills, promoting self‐reflection and supporting safe practice and quality care (Al‐Majid et al, ; Cooper, ; Farnell and Dawson, ; Levett‐Jones, ; Lindner, ) given that undergraduate nursing students have limited exposure to MV.
