[NRSKarenRN, BSN, RN]

"Entry Into Practice: Revisiting the American Nurses

Association's First Position Paper on Education for

Nurses" is the lastest ANA/OJIN online CE offering. This

Independent Study Module is based on the article by Sister

Rosemary Donley, PhD,RN,C-ANP,FAAN and Sister

Mary Jean Flaherty, PhD,RN,FAAN which first appeared

in the "Online Journal of Issues in Nursing (OJIN)" on May

31, 2002.

The purpose of this module is to present: argument in support

of ANA's first position on education for nurses written in

1965; the effects of this statement on nursing education and

practice over the past four decades; the similarities of the

issues discussed at the policy tables in 1965 and 2002 and the

challenge for nurses to advocate for better educated nurses with

stakeholders, their patients and clients in the public and

private sectors.
