[Current challenges facing the technological and vocational nursing education in Taiwan].
The technological and vocational education nursing system (TVE) has been the major source of nursing labor in Taiwan. As educational reform progresses, entry into nursing practice will soon mean that all nurses hold at least an associate nursing degree, which will be a milestone in the nursing history of Taiwan. However, the ecology of nursing is fast-altering, so in order to produce competent nurses, endeavors are required to renovate the current TVE system of nursing. In this article, the author brings years of personal experience as a nursing educator to bear in raising several key issues relating to the TVE system of nursing education.
