Graduate nursing education. What are the benefits and costs to hospitals?

In 1989, Hermann Hospital and University of Texas-Houston Health Science Center School of Nursing applied for and received approval to implement a 5-year demonstration project funded by the Health Care Finance Administration using Medicaid pass-through funds to educate nurses at the graduate level. The project aimed to evaluate the impact of advanced practice nurses and researchers on the practice of professional nursing at a 655-bed acute-care hospital in a large metropolitan area. The authors describe the factors that served to galvanize the two institutions to apply for such a grant, discuss the barriers encountered along the course of the project, and list the outcomes achieved by 1994 or project end. Predictions regarding the second 5-year segment (phase 2) are summarized as well. The article includes suggestions to other institutions interested in replicating such a project.

Realism in nursing curricula.

As nursing faces the unparalleled challenge to become an equal partner in higher education, sharing the burden of producing income in order to enjoy the benefits of solvency, certain values and practices of nursing educators must be critically reviewed. Curricular ideals and teaching/learning strategies that may have been effective and appropriate in another era must now be restructured if the future of nursing education is to be secured.
