Recent changes in the health care delivery mechanisms demand a fundamental change in the education systems for nursing. The consumer is better informed and is an increasingly informed participant in his/her health care. Health care services will be more usually delivered at work or in school-clinics. As a nurse you are required to adapt to this managed care environment. The supply of nurses needed for the proposed delivery system differs from the current profile in both numbers and kind. This program is designed to assure that you can excel in the new delivery framework.
