ABSTRACT
Since the Libyan Revolution in 2011, the country's nursing workforce has been struggling. Libyan nursing schools have focused on rebuilding the country's supply of nurses after many emigrated. Wanting to infuse the workforce with more baccalaureate-prepared nurses, Libyan nursing faculty invited nursing and public health representatives from a US-based academic medical institution and a non-governmental medical organization to collaborate with local stakeholders in a country-wide assessment. The purpose of this article is to outline the national programs' strengths and weaknesses and make recommendations for developing a strategy to elevate nursing education to meet international standards. This can serve as a launching point to strengthen Libya's health services provision capacity, particularly during this time of transition when opportunities may become available to move in new directions. The approach and findings may have wider application to other countries who are similarly experiencing civil and political turmoil.
