Two sessions: I. 11:00-12:30 mainly discussed the Input-Process-Output Framework of Benchmarking the Nursing Science Program Several Universities and colleges have shared information about the system in their schools/country. Allow me to mention some of the significant information shared like: 1. Admission requirements 2. Job hiring requirements and salary 3. Teaching and Learning Method
