OVERVIEW
Original papers published by the NLN during the curriculum revolution of the 1980s/1990s and reprinted in this book provide a glimpse into how our leaders thought about ways in which nursing education needed to be reformed. Many of those leaders have written reflections on the original works and our current state of nursing education, and other contemporary chapters have been added to enhance the forward-looking nature of this book. The collection inspires the reader to reflect on the progress that has been made in transforming nursing education toward a student-centered, interactive, evidence-based practice and to think about what needs to be done to create a preferred future for nursing education. As such, this book is an important resource for faculty and for graduate students preparing for the faculty role.
