A qualitative descriptive exploration of the educational and career plans of early career neonatal nurses and midwives: An Irish perspective

For this study a descriptive qualitative approach was used to ascertain early career neonatal nurses' and midwives' experiences of further education, their future career plans, and their perceived facilitators and barriers to further education and career progression.
