From the Paper:

"The role of nursing care staff within Korea is much the same as that in the U.S. with nursing programs dedicated toward addressing the continuing health care needs of a society that is consistently changing and growing. More and more nursing programs are preparing nurses for roles including caring for an elderly population; important components of nursing care programs in Korea include critical thinking, moral and ethical virtues instruction, theoretical excellence training, creativity and application of tools in the healthcare environment (Korea University, 2006).
