Background: Education is a process that must be continuously developed throughout professional life.
Objective: To reflect on the challenges of lifelong learning in modern nursing. Main topics under analysis: The advancement of nursing practice depends on integrating professional, personal, cultural, and socioeconomic knowledge. The fundamental changes occurring in theoretical and practical knowledge require more complex care actions and services, which demand that nurses learn to adapt continuously to new technologies. Different generations with distinctive characteristics and interests undergo the learning and educational process. Nurses must actively manage their knowledge, skills, and attitudes and harmonize professional demands and challenges with quality of life.
Conclusion: The innovative nursing professional combines technical and behavioral skills. The main challenge is the combination of work environment, social context, and educational strategies, which should stimulate learning success, allow safe care delivery to patients and communities, and contribute to universal health.
