Over the last two decades, an unprecedented pool of nursing students-many with academic degrees and prior work experience-have entered accelerated programs. This is the first volume to examine core issues in accelerated nursing education, such as curriculum innovation, clinical immersion, recruitment and retention of students and faculty, and inter-professional education. It also addresses questions regarding: how accelerated nursing programs prepare graduates to meet changing health care needs; which curriculums and clinical models are best suited to accelerated education; and what teaching strategies and evidence-based practices ensure high quality results.
