Nursing is a dynamic and constantly evolving field, with new research and technological advancements emerging all the time. To keep up with these changes, nurses must engage in lifelong learning, which involves ongoing education and professional development throughout their careers. The main aim of this research was to investigate the views of nurses/technicians on the importance of lifelong education of nurses and technicians and the quality of continuous training of nurses and technicians in the Republic of Croatia in the County of Istria. 60 nurses and technicians from all levels of education participated in the research. 30 of them were employed in the Pula General Hospital as a secondary level of health care, and the remaining 30 in the primary level of health care, which included the Istrian Health Centers, Institute of Public Health, Institute of Emergency Medicine, Home Care Institutions and Home for the Elderly and Infirm . The research was conducted in the area of ​​the Istrian County through a survey in the format of Google forms, which contained 17 questions of different types. The results of this research show that there are no significant differences between primary and secondary level of health care in the attitudes and opinions of nurses and technicians regarding the implementation of lifelong education. Also, the results show that the respondents somewhat agree with the statement that through professional training, knowledge and skills useful for everyday work are acquired, but most of the respondents claim that the lectures that are currently conducted in the system in the territory of the Republic of Croatia are not sufficient in order to increase nursing competencies for working with patients. The idea of ​​lifelong education is sufficient and useful for the acquisition of knowledge and skills, but the organization of the same in the system at the level of the Republic of Croatia is not sufficient for increasing nursing competencies in working with patient.
