This note identifies some key areas for
priority action in the current favorable contest for policy
in the nursing sector in India. The present policy focus on
increasing the number of nurses and nurse training centers
is understandable given the countries nurse-to-population

Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, the findings presented here suggest
that such a focus on numbers alone are not the priority
concerns of nursing. |
