Wi"' ;, i. 1 announced Friday by
lion. Jack McNie, Minister of
and Universities, and
the Bon. Richard T. Potter,
'Moister of Health.
The transfer means that more
than 0,500 student nurses enrolled
annually in 56 schools of nursing
throynghout the province will be-
come part of the student body of
the 22 colleges of applied arts and
technology.
In this area schools of nursing
at Perth -Huron Regional, Strat-
ford; K -W Hospital, St. Mary's
Hospital, Kitchener; Guelph
General and St. Joseph's,
Guelph, will be related to Cones-
toga College, Kitchener.
More than 1,500 administra-
tive, faculty and support person-
nel now attached to the schools of
nursing will be affected by the
transfer. In guidelines issued to
colleges, schools of nursing and
participating hospitals, the
government has stated that no
personnel should be disadvan-
taged if they choose to move to
the colleges with the programs.
The academic facilities in
schools of nursing throughout On-
tario will continue to be used for
• nursing education programs.
Residence facilities may be used
for either nursing education pro-
grams or alternative health care
programs to meet the needs of
the public.
While some aspects of the
transfer have been determined
by the Provincial Government,
much of the transition to the col-
lege setting will be planned and
implemented by the local advi-
sory groups that are to be estab-
lished in each college area. These
'groups will be responsible for
wor-kipg out the curriculum, ad-
mission procedures, clinical ar-
rangements with participating
hospitals, and a number of other
general concerns. Each college
area will submit its plane for the
scrutiny and approval of the
ministries involved and the Col-
lege of Nurses°of,Ontario. Sitting
on the committees will be repre.

volved in nursing education in
