"Applied Bachelor" is a qualification that is assigned to a graduate who has mastered the basic educational program at the "bachelor's degree" level, who has the competence to solve technological problems in various fields of socio-economic activity, ready to start working immediately after graduation. The essence of the applied bachelor's degree is to increase the status of vocational education, equating some specialties with higher education corresponding to innovative requirements.

Within the framework of the State Program of Healthcare Development for 2016-2019 in the Republic of Kazakhstan, the specialists of the Ministry of Health, together with colleagues of the JAMK and LAHTI University of Applied Sciences, have developed a roadmap for improving nursing education in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The Applied Bachelor's Degree program examines the principles of competence-based education in accordance with European directives. Continuous improvement of nursing practice and improvement of the quality of medical care require a corresponding improvement in the quality and adequacy of training for those who want to acquire the profession of a nurse, as well as continuous professional development of already working nurses.

In accordance with the order of the Vice-Minister of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated July 23, 2014 No. 417 "On the introduction of the educational program of applied bachelor's degree in the specialty "Nursing" from September 1, 2019, on the basis of the KGP at the Higher Medical College of Zhezkazgan, the implementation of this program began.

In August 2019, the selection and admission of applicants for training in the accelerated educational program of the applied bachelor's degree in the specialty "Nursing" for practicing nurses was carried out. Among the students are head nurses, senior nurses, sentries, nurses of treatment rooms, etc. This program is developed in accordance with European directives and about 50% of the time students spend in clinical settings.

The duration of training with an accelerated trajectory is 1 year 6 months, with a total of 2,304 hours (96 kz credits) of which the number of hours of clinical practice is 1008 hours (42 kz credits). After completion, the qualification is awarded — "Applied Bachelor" in the specialty "Nursing".

The structure of the educational program is modular. In each module, the number of hours of classroom classes, simulation classes, and practical classes in the clinic are determined.

The main purpose of this training is to train practice—oriented nursing specialists of a new formation who are able to actively and effectively use the knowledge gained during training and in practice, who are able to think critically and analytically, effectively manage resources and work in accordance with the principles of patient safety.

According to the Provisions of the educational program of the applied bachelor's degree in the specialty "Nursing", tutors from among experienced teachers have been trained for each module of the educational program. A working group on the implementation of the educational program has been created.

Mentoring (mentoring) is a new and important direction in the implementation of clinical practice of students.

From medical organizations, mentors from among nurses with extensive practical experience have been appointed to implement the educational program.

During their studies, students will undergo practical training at clinical bases under the guidance of qualified doctors and average medical workers in the amount of at least 60-70% of the total number of training hours. Clinical practice is a stage of training at which a student, as part of a team, and with direct access to a healthy or sick individual and/or community, learns to organize, perform and evaluate the necessary nursing care, based on the knowledge, skills and competencies acquired during training. In clinical practice, the student will learn not only how to work in a team, but also how to lead a team and organize nursing care, including sanitary and educational work for individuals and small groups, on the scale of a single medical institution or in a community. The current trend in the development of nursing reflects the significant role of the nurse in the modern healthcare system of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The variety of functions performed by nursing staff requires an understanding of the factors affecting health, the causes of diseases, methods of their treatment and rehabilitation, as well as environmental, social and other conditions in which medical care is provided and the health system functions. The World Health Organization (WHO) considers nursing staff as a real potential to meet the growing needs of the population for affordable medical care.
