Report On Nursing & Nursing Education - circa 1980

Found this interesting old report commissioned by the federal government back in the 1980's regarding the nursing profession, in particular what they saw as the future of the profession and the education of nurses.

Anyone looking to escape the heat pull up a chair, grab some snacks and bevvy of choice and read on. It is rather interesting to compare twenty years later how things actually panned out.

The descriptions/projections for LPNs seem pretty accurate.The Occupational Outlook Handbook is an annual publication, now online, although print copies probably still exist.Home : Occupational Outlook Handbook : U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

Must be the heat.That was totally the wrong link in my OP.Nursing and nursing education: public policies and private actions - Institute of Medicine (U.S.). Division of Health Care Services - Google Books
