Training department has been experiencing a decline in the attendance of the nurses to the CPD activities for the last two years. Based on this decline, it is important as a training department to look forward examining some of the factors that might have led to the decline. Therefore, a survey which involves a cross sectional study design was mandatory to investigate these factors. The primary aim of the survey was to collect data using questionnaires on what motivated the nurses to attend the continuing professional development (CPD) activities along with the impact of these activities on the nurses' performance as they perceived. The department will be trying to find strategies that will enhance CPD participation. However, the finding will be used to improve attendance and planning the next year continuing professional activities annual plan. The research managed to collect qualitative data. The dependent variables are variables that change based on other variables, thus these variables are the questions asked to the respondent such as what motivated them to undertake CPD activities, the strategies they consider to enhance their CPD activities and how these strategies impact their learning including their colleagues and organization and also how they can measure the impact of the CPD they attended on their growth and development and effectiveness of the strategies identified. The independent variables are variables that do not change based on other variables. In this case, the independent variables are the responses from the participants.
