OVERVIEW AND SUMMARY: THE 1965 ENTRY INTO PRACTICE PROPOSAL -- IS IT RELEVANT TODAY?
- Authors
Gosnell, Davina J.
- Abstract
The article focuses on issues related to formal nursing education. Entry into practice has been one of the most contentious issues in all of nursing. Although the vast majority of today's new nurse graduates are being educated in academic programs, nurses are the least educated of all health professionals with two-thirds possessing less than a baccalaureate education. In contrast, most other health professionals are now requiring entry into practice at the graduate level. Nursing education has not been in control of its own destiny but rather has been dominated by an external loss of control and has been swept along by a host of societal and educational circumstances.
