To assist us, we ask that you send us your comments on any or all of the 4 main areas the review will cover, that is:
· The effectiveness of current educational preparation of and articulation between enrolled and registered nurses and nurse practitioners in meeting the needs of health service delivery
· Factors that affect the choice of nursing as an occupation, including for men
· The role and appropriateness of transition to practice programs however named.
