A plan for revising nursing education proposes (1) direct transfer linkage to improve associate/bachelor's degree articulation; (2) partnerships for student transfer between junior and senior colleges; and (3) a terminal nurse associate program to prepare for long-term nursing home care. (SK)

The development of nursing leaders was the broad goal of an Iowa project which developed lower-division transfer curriculums to articulate directly with the upper division major in nursing, thereby almost doubling the number of graduates with baccalaureate preparation for nursing. After five years, the program can be called successful. (Author/AJ)
