IONE-OHCWC Articulation Survey, 2010

In collaboration with the Oklahoma Health Care Workforce Center, the Institute for Oklahoma Nursing Education requests your participation in a survey designed to obtain information about articulation between educational programs in Oklahoma. Specifically, you are asked to complete this survey considering the articulation (or career mobility) options that are offered at your institution.

A joint summit is planned for November 1, 2010, that will use this information to gather ideas and discuss strategies to streamline the process for students wishing to further their education.

Your cooperation is appreciated!
