  • Recent healthcare policy documents ('Making a Difference', 'Fitness for Practice') mandate new approaches in nurse education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the integration of AP[E]L within pre-registration nurse education.
  • To explore the implementation of AP[E]L for both entry and exit from pre-registration nursing programs.
  • To align nursing education with new national standards and curriculum requirements.

Main Methods:

  • The study focuses on a selected institution implementing changes as per new healthcare directives.
