There's a movement under way to transform the nursing profession. The Institute of Medicine has made several recommendations including higher levels of education and training, and an equal voice for nurses alongside doctors in redesigning health care. Dr. Savitri Singh-Carlson is intimately familiar with this new direction. Join her for a revealing examination of the nursing profession as well as a discussion of the future of CSUMB's School of Nursing, which serves as the area's only Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program.
