Designing the future.
As we look to the new century and are engaged in designing the future of professional nursing, it seems that exploring new services and settings, human resource development, entrepreneurial opportunities, and most importantly, establishing the economic viability of nursing are logical beginnings. Nursing's ability to move onward will be determined by today's advances in nursing practice. With our growing knowledge, our vision, and our search for expansion and excellence in professional practice, we have changed our lives and those of others. We are captains of our destiny. Today's search for understanding is unbounded. Ours is the age of knowledge, choice, and opportunity. As tomorrow's world approaches, we must question, discover, and understand. But our central challenge remains to respond to social need with professional intelligence.
