[Training and information for freelance nurses, all life long].

Nursing practice demands ever greater levels of skill, including from those providing home nursing care. A study was carried out, in 2008, within the French national institute for health and medical research (INSERM), in the context of a research master, to assess the differences in freelance nurses' approach to training and information research according to the type of practice (up to 2 nurses versus more than 2 nurses). The study shows that the method of practice influences the amount of work.
