Purpose and Scope of the Study
My special interest in the study of the development of associate degree programs In nursing is to find out whether or not it would be feasible to set up similar programs in our country. Basic assumption for this is that some of problems which American society and the profession of nursing are facing here might be as pertinent in our society and nursing in the country. We share many problems in common such as the problems of supplying the society with professional services in the quantity and quality it demands of professional nursing today. Ever growing demands for more nurses and for more diversified functions, with growing gap between the demand and the supply and the profession´s need for growth toward quality and status of full profession, are some of the basic problems. We are facing now in nursing profession in Korea.
Though the situations do not warrant exact application to our society, I believe that studying some of the early endeavors made to produce these associate degree programs in nursing, its growth through the years, and the issues pertinent to the new programs in nursing may have an incredible merit in reflecting our thought for formulating our grand step forward a new approach in solving those problems we are faced with.
Because of the limitations of available resource materials, I have confined myself to the study of the development of associate degree programs in the United States of America in the light of social professional and the nursing educational background for enhancing this developments, some of the early projects and endeavors contributed in developing this new program of nursing education, some of their distinct characteristics of structures, curriculums, philosophies and the student bodies, and some of the issues pertinent to these program development, and the utilization of the graduates of associate degree programs in nursing development. It is certainly a possibility provided with the joint interest and efforts by the existing higher educational institutions and the nursing profession.
