title: Genetics: challenges for nursing education.
abstract: Rapid development of new knowledge in genetics has not been matched by increased inclusion of genetics content in nursing education or nursing research. Genetics is viewed as tangential to nursing, a useful but not necessary component of nursing knowledge. A paradigm shift to a view of genetics as a science basic to the practice of nursing is proposed. Methods to achieve this shift are presented.
