Background and Aim:Nursing education is essential for proper and efficient nursing and health care system. Nursing courses around the world are expanding. Comparing different educational systems will improve the quality of educational programs. The purpose of this study is to compare the system of Iranian nursing education with the nursing school of the University of Washington DC, USA.
Materials and Methods: study was conducted in 2018. In order to compare, the required information was collected and analyzed from the main elements of the nursing baccalaureate program in Iran and the nursing school of the University of Washington, USA. After reviewing and comparing, practical suggestions were made to improve the nursing program. The method used in this study was a Beredy model that includes description, interpretation, neighborhood, and comparison.
Results: The nursing education of Iran and USA has major disagreements. The nursing education in Iran's undergraduate degree is four years, and applicants are selected from among the students in the experimental group of experimental sciences and through the national examination. In all universities across the country, there is a nursing unit's coriclovium that is being developed by the Ministry of Health and Medical Education. While nursing in the United States is a two-year program, the student admission criteria are independently established by each university.
Conclusion: In order to improve the quality of nursing education in Iran, reforms should be made in the areas of philosophy and goals, methods of student selection, teaching methods and evaluation strategies of learners.
