1Azusa Pacific University, School of Nursing, CA, USA.
Purpose:
To describe a 2-year nursing exchange project, 1992-1994, designed to assess Russian nursing education and to make recommendations for change.
Results:
Nursing education in Russia is at a level similar to vocational schools in the United States and is closely linked to medicine. Russian nurse educators were assisted in developing a philosophy of nursing, developing definitions for nursing, and incorporating process into practice.
Conclusions:
The Russian government and Russian nurse educators are committed to improving the quality of health care and nursing. This exchange project provided an impetus for the movement of Russian nursing education toward a process-based baccalaureate model.
