Foreign Nursing started late, but developed rapidly. Therefore,the research on foreign nursing received widespread attention in the nursing education. In thisstudy, the principle is “service for purpose, employment as orientation, ability as standard,occupational ability as point”. This study is to put forward the overall scheme of ForeignNursing curriculum system reform by surveying the present situation of Foreign Nursing andthe graduate employment status in foreign countries and comparing with foreign courseoffering.The analysis from survey of the present situation of Foreign Nursing indicates that themain problems in current foreign-related nursing curriculum system are following: the courseoffering isn’t proper.(such as education concept is backward; the curriculum theory is basedon biomedical model, and the teaching mode is in the center of clinical medicine; trainingobject and career orientation are not clear; the professional characteristic is not to beprominent,; the traditional nursing teaching is to strengthen English), which is resulting in thedisjoint phenomenon between language training and professional training, part of thegraduates is not competent for the international nursing posts; education is disarticulated withthe domestic and foreign occupation qualification examination and clinical work actualrequirements; bilingual teaching faculties has serious problems.The analysis from survey of employment survey abroad of foreign-related nursinggraduates indicates that the main factors that affect graduates employment abroad are asfollows: language is a major obstacle to the output; output direction is single, area is narrow;course offering is in the core of treatment and nursing care, which lead to that the knowledgestructure of nursing staff is single, the lack of holistic nursing consciousness.
