Four years to take someone from a walk-in-the-door novice to a graduate nurse at the advanced beginner stage in all areas of nursing ready to take and pass their licencing exam, and get a B.Sc.N. 2-3 years later they will be competent in their field of choice. You could look back to your own education in your field and see the same process retrospectivlly. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
