Abstract
With the increasing demand for nursing professionals in society, industry-education integration has emerged as a crucial development model for cultivating nursing talent in private higher education institutions. This review aims to explore the current status and development measures of nursing education within this integration framework, analyzing the challenges faced and strategies for addressing them. By synthesizing relevant research from both domestic and international perspectives, the article proposes practical recommendations, such as optimizing curriculum design, strengthening industry-university partnerships, and enhancing faculty qualifications. These suggestions are intended to provide a reference for the sustainable development of nursing programs in private higher education institutions.
