title: An examination of the factors influencing the choice of one college of nursing in choosing an institute of higher education with which to link.
abstract: This paper examines the factors influencing the choice of one College of Nursing when linking with an Institute of Higher Education, from which general principles can be drawn. The College is situated in Central London, within a Special Health Authority at a post graduate centre. The College currently offers courses in clinical nursing leading to English National Board certification, but is hoping to expand its courses in the near future. Influencing factors are examined in the light of the final decision using Roby's Deliberative Model.
