EXCERPT
The long-awaited Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching’s report on nursing education (Benner, Sutphen, Leonard, & Day, 2009) has been released, calling for radical transformation of nursing education. Among the 26 recommendations is one that will draw a huge sigh of weariness, as it has been the source of contentious debate for nearly half a century. (It need not be named, and we must move on!) Most are essential to improving the quality of nursing practice and the well-being of the people we serve.
