The entry gates
Article Abstract:
The criteria required for entry to post-registration education for nurses should be changed to provide wider eligibility, according to the English National Board. Nurses are only permitted to undertake post-registration study in fields in which they already have qualifications. Some nursing fields such as paediatric intensive care are subsequently suffering from a shortfall in qualified nurses as general nurses are unable to pursue the necessary qualification despite their overall expertise.

The Johnson and Johnson/King's Fund UK nursing leadership programme, a two-year scheme which is to commence shortly, will involve 20 nurses from across the UK.

It will give them a range of leadership skills, ensuring that they will be able to influence health care as well as nursing.
