The research is one that will use the qualitative method in testing with cases and open problems as to the effectiveness of the training provided to the practical nurse group through case and open problems through direct observations of that which has been taught in which observation is through the structured method specifically work-based assessment. Work-based research is highly effective when clear learning outcomes are in place. DATA COLLECTION

Data will be collected through the trainers in a work-based assessment of the skills acquired during training and education of the practical nurse group. All trainers will meet the requirements of the Department of Defense insofar as credentials and other necessary qualifications.

DATA ANALYSIS and SYNTHESIS

The data, qualitative in nature will be analyzed through review of the information collected as to the skills of the practical nursing staff relating to the acquired education and training provided and through administration of a pre- and post-test for assessing the practical nurse knowledge and skills.
