Development of a nurse-instructor preparation program in China.
Preparation of nurses to function as instructors in schools of nursing has proved a continuing problem in the effort to upgrade nursing and nursing education in third-world nations. Development of a nurse-instructor preparation program in China is discussed. Methods of adapting the program to local and national needs, abilities and resources are described along with the use of the counterpart concept to assure program continuation once foreign nurse-experts are no longer available. Use of a Phase Model program is seen as a method of maximizing use of nurse-consultants while alleviating their recruitment problems and preserving the continuity and integrity of the program.
