This guide discusses some of the principles upon which sound planning for nursing education is based, and suggests procedures that may be helpful to those responsible for such planning. Particular reference has been made to countries where nursing education is developing and where international nursing advisers are assisting local nurses in their planning for the future. One major recommendation is made for administrators of nursing school programs in the planning of such programs: the plan must be made to fit the local situation and all who will have a part in carrying out the plan should have a share in making it.
