Back to the future: Project 2000 has widened the theory-practice divide, increased student's debts and left them feeling isolated
Article Abstract:
A former nursing student describes his RGN studies that began under the old apprenticeship model of training, and his subsequent studies under the Project 2000 course. His apprenticeship training was based on a period of theory followed by a period of practice, further theory and an exam. The theory weeks were complemented by the practice, and he believes that Project 2000 does not link theory and practice adequately. He feels that simple, basic and clinically-related education should come before professional status and high academic career paths.

After Project 2000: What does the future hold for nursing education?
Article Abstract:
The main forces drawing nurses towards an all-graduate nursing profession are parity with other professionals, nursing complexity, nursing performance and public and student perceptions. Project 2000 was a major step forward for the nursing profession, but some believe it did not extend far enough. There is also concern about whether the current branch structure meets the changing health needs of the country.
