    AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to propose a vision and appropriate policy development strategies for nursing manpower in Taiwan. Proposals are grounded in a comprehensive analysis of Taiwan's current nursing manpower policy problems based on the linkages between nursing education and nursing practice. Nursing manpower policy goes beyond concern for simple numbers to include other variables that affect nursing staffs such as workload, work environment, case complexity, skill level, nursing staff mix, and nursing care cost efficiency and effectiveness. Manpower, the most important and precious resource in the medical care system, is the critical factor affecting the system's capacity to deliver appropriate and effective care. In recent years, demand for nurses in developed countries has fallen short of domestic supply, which has raised international nursing migration levels. The International Council of Nurses pursues policy issues related to nursing manpower. Although it has not yet experienced a shortage of nurses, Taiwan still lacks comprehensive policy and management systems governing nursing manpower.
