Using Learning Outcome Measures to assess Doctoral Nursing Education
Published on: June 21, 2010
Abstract:
The nursing profession in Kenya plays a very fundamental role in the society and provides employment to a good number of young men and women at an important part of their lives. The education of the nurse therefore forms a significant part of the overall educational system of the society. Thus the nursing curriculum reflects the educational philosophy of the society as a whole, Kenya's philosophy of health, the society's concept of the nurse and at the same time endeavouring to maintain the world standard of professional nursing. This paper was presented at the ICN Congress in Tel Aviv, June 1985.
