title: Creating a climate for the implementation of a nursing conceptual framework.
abstract: Over the last decade, increasing numbers of service and educational institutions have initiated plans to implement a nursing conceptual framework to guide practice, education, administration, and research. Regardless of the conceptual framework being implemented, for effective change to occur, considerable attention must be paid to the nature of the learning process experienced by individual nurses. In this article, adult learning theory is discussed as it relates to the process of learning a nursing conceptual framework.
