Objective(s): The purpose of this study is to identify the content and structure for a nursing diploma program which would be suited to the needs of the Yukon and the Northwest Territories; to evaluate the similarity between and within the territories; and to identify existing programs which would be readily adaptable to include the identified content and structure.

Project Description: To plan for nursing education in the Yukon and Northwest Territories, it is important to know the knowledge and skills that nurses require in the north. This research has been designed to ask employers, nurses and community members to rate common curriculum items in a nursing program as to their importance, and to suggest items which they feel are important but which are excluded from most nursing programs.
