 AN ACT directing the board of regents and the state education department
   to investigate the scope of nursing education programs and develop   a
   model  for  improved  articulation of the education program for career
   mobility from one classification to another
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1.  Short title.  This act shall be known and may be cited as
 the "development of model for articulation and career mobility act".
   § 2. Legislative findings and intent. The  legislature  hereby  recog-
 nizes  the  need  to increase the pool of available nursing resources to
 meet the increased demands on the health care delivery system. The  more
 complex  nature  of  illnesses, constraints on reimbursement, pressuring
 accelerated treatment and earlier patient discharge,  the  explosion  of
 technology,  and  requirements for intense monitoring for quality assur-
 ance, may be diverting nurses  from  the  bedside  into  early  burnout,
 retirement  or  employment  elsewhere.  The  state's  nursing  education
 program, encompassing nursing assistants, licensed practical nurses  and
 licensed  (registered)  nurses  should  be better articulated for career
 mobility in order to make the  nursing  profession  more  attractive  to
 individuals  and  for  recruiting  and retaining qualified nurses in the
 health care delivery system.
   § 3. The board of regents  and  the  state  education  department,  in
 consultation  with    the  department  of  health and leaders in nursing
 education, shall:
   (1) investigate current education programs for nurses in all settings,
 such as high schools, vocational-technical schools, community  colleges,
 universities  and  hospital-based  schools  of  nursing, to identify the
 scope of nursing education programs in the state;
