Abstract:
Nurse education is undergoing a process
of transition. Nurses worldwide are working towards
achievement of higher levels of education and training
through an improved education system. Current trends
and innovations in nursing education are emerging to
prepare more nurses and to deliver education to students
across geographical boundaries while taking into
consideration their work and family responsibilities. The
current trends and innovations in nursing education
range from full time face-to-face interactions to distance
education programmes. Teaching approaches such as
blended learning, online or e-Learning have provided
nurses with an avenue for continuing education for
development and progression in their career pathways.
Every nurse aspires to reach her highest potential. While
the current trends and innovations in nursing education
provides the flexibility for nurses to continue learning
and upgrade their professional qualifications, there are
issues to be considered in catering to the needs of the
bottom billion nurses. An exploration of related issues
will include views from different perspectives, such as
that of the institution/provider, instructor/facilitator
and student/learner involved in the development and
implementation of the related education programmes.
