Abstract

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to explore the current status of education for nursing management in Korea.
METHODS
A descriptive study was done using a questionnaire developed by the investigators. The data were collected by survey from 96 out of 129 nursing schools, between December 2010 and February 2011.
RESULTS
For 22.9% of nursing schools, there was no faculty for nursing management. The credits and subjects included in nursing management varied among the nursing schools. Lectures in subjects related to nursing management were given not only by nursing management faculty but also by faculty with other majors. There were more faculty and credits for nursing management courses in 4-year nursing schools than in 3-year schools.
CONCLUSION
To improve the quality of education in nursing management, there is a need to standardized courses and provide nursing faculty who have majored in nursing management.
