2.0 PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION

 Practical nursing education classes will be operated in two areas,
 namely, full-time preparatory classes and part-time in-service
 classes.

 2. 1 Courses of Study.

 2.11 Procedures for Developing Courses of Study.

 2.11-1 Preparatory Training. The curriculum for the
 preparatory practical nursing course shall be
 developed with the aid of a state curriculum
 committee by utilizing all sources of basic
 information including materials prepared by the
 United States Office of Education, the National
 League for Nursing, and the Florida State
 Board of Nursing. An analysis of current
 practical nurse functions in hospitals and other
 agencies will also be used in determining the con-
 tent of the course of study.

 2.11-2 In-Service Training. The same procedure shall
 be used in developing course of study content for
 in-service training as for preparatory training.

 2. 12 Procedures for Ensuring that Courses Remain Current.
 Courses will be kept up-to-date through periodic review
 by the state practical nursing education curriculum
 committee, or by workshops conducted by approved
 teacher-training institutions, or by state-wide con-
 ferences of practical nursing education teachers as listed
 in "Administrative Policies and Procedures Covering
 State Board and Approved Vocational Teacher Education
 Institutions. "

 2.2 Plan for Operating the Instructional Program.
