Toward 2020 Vision For Nursing Summary

My critical discussion paper is focused on an issue of human health resources in Canada presented in “Toward 2020 Vision for Nursing”.

Summary

The project titled “Toward 2020 Vision for Nursing” is funded by Health Canada through Canadian Nursing Association.
