A nursing education model. For second-degree students.
This article describes and discusses a successful model for an undergraduate nursing major for degree  students that may be begun with as little as one prerequisite course and can be completed in just over 13 months. In designing the program, the nursing major was not changed; all class and clinical hours remain the same as in the traditional model. Prerequisites are kept to a minimum to allow the student to begin the nursing courses promptly and to build on the increased motivation that arises with clinical application of theory. Program outcomes covering 12 years and about 1,100 graduates of this program are presented and discussed.
