Challenges facing nursing education and practice in Saudi Arabia
Ali M Alsheri
King Saud bin Abdulaziz University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Nursing education in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) dates back to 1958 when a diploma program offered in collaboration
between Ministry of Health (MoH) and World Health Organization (WHO). Since then, however, major transitions and
challenges took place that require careful attention to learn from the past, reflect on the present and plan for the future. This
paper explains major challenges in nursing education and practice in KSA and presents a developmental model that may be
helpful in facing these challenges.
