In today's society, nurses have a wide range of skills in the medical profession.
The nursing profession plays great emphasis on education and training and take pride in providing opportunities to strengthen skills and develop new ones.
However, this was not the case in the past. Education was not a priority in 19th Century Britain. Florence Nightingale changed the ethos on nursing education.
Under Nightingale's direction, laws were implemented relating to nurses having an education and for hospital boards to be put in place to oversee such requirements were met.
These initiative have had a profound impact on global health care.
Nowadays, most nursing education programmes are completed on a college campus or online. Nursing staff engage in numerous on-going training programmes.
The needs of patients continue to change and there are new developments in medical procedures.
The education of a nurse never stops as they are required to continually master new skills and concepts throughout their career.
This section reports on the latest developments and trends in nursing education throughout the world.
