Abstract

This paper presents estimates for the costs of training Registered Nurses (RNs) by Degree Courses (4-year courses, based in Universities or Polytechnics) and Diploma Courses (3-year courses,based in Polytechnics and Colleges of Further Education), to be compared with estimates for the corresponding costs under the existing system (3-year courses, based in District Health Authority Schools of Nursing). The costs of RN training are subdivided into three components: (a) Formal Costs which we take to consist of expenditures by the state on both the direct teaching costs of student nurses as well as the cost of their maintenance allowances; (b) Informal Costs which are the real manpower resource costs incurred due to the teaching contribution of the ward staff not directly paid to teach; and (c) Replacement Costs which are the real manpower resporce costs incurred due to the teaching contribution of student nurses and of the cost of replacing them.
