The National Review of Nursing Education 2002 was initiated in April 2001 to examine the future nursing educational needs of the health, community and aged care system in Australia and to provide advice on appropriate education policy and funding frameworks. The Review examined the effectiveness of current arrangements for the education and training of nurses, labour market factors affecting the employment of nurses and the choice of nursing as an occupation, and the key factors driving the demand for, and supply of nursing education and training. The Review sought to make recommendations on models of nurse education and training, the types of skills and knowledge required, and mechanisms for attracting new recruits to nursing and encouraging the commitment to lifelong learning of those already engaged in nursing. The Review commissioned a wide range of research and six literature reviews. This report on nursing regulation and practice contains the following papers: Selected review of nurse regulation / Mary Chiarella; Standards for nursing care and the relationship between skill mix and patient outcomes / Jackie Crisp; The scope of nursing practice: implications for contemporary nursing education and practice / Margaret McMillan, Jane Conway, Penny Little, Elizabeth Bujack; The scope of nursing in Australia: a snapshot of the challenges and skills needed / Jacqueline Jones, Julianne Cheek; Nursing career pathways project: pathways to nursing's diversity / Kay Price, Marie Heartfield, Terri Gibson.
