B
Hospital-based nursing programs provide extensive clinical experience in the respective hospital, so student nurses are well prepared to function at the hospital where the school is located. The diploma program may include general education subjects such as biology and physical and social sciences in addition to nursing theory and practice. Usually, the nursing courses completed can-not be transferred to an educational institution for advanced degrees. However, this is in a process of change. Many diploma programs have become degree-granting institutions. Graduates of diploma programs are prepared to function as beginning practitioners in acute, intermediate, long-term, and ambulatory health care facilities. The diploma program does not prepare students to practice or obtain courses in advanced areas of nursing as part of their basic education pro-gram.
