Nurse education: a time for new solutions?

Abstract

Notes the worsening situation with regard to nursing shortages. Considers responses such as the commission of increased places on Project 2000 courses and the introduction of NVQ III staff. Points to this success, particularly with regard to the latter of these solutions, but notes a lack of career progression for such entrants. Suggests that there is a strong case for development of a better career path for NVQ III staff, and looks to education and training consortia in this respect.
