Issues in nursing education in Nepal

Research in Nepal, conducted in 1991-1992, yielded interesting information on issues confrontingnurse educators in that country. What this author found particularly interesting is that, while the specific problems were different, the underlying nursing education issues were remarkably similar to those encountered by nurse educators in her home country of Canada. Data from questionnaires, interviews, and government and other documents have been synthesized in this discussion of issues in nursing education in Nepal. Categories for discussion include students, faculty, curriculum and institutional constraints.
