title: Realism in nursing curricula.
abstract: As nursing faces the unparalleled challenge to become an equal partner in higher education, sharing the burden of producing income in order to enjoy the benefits of solvency, certain values and practices of nursing educators must be critically reviewed. Curricular ideals and teaching/learning strategies that may have been effective and appropriate in another era must now be restructured if the future of nursing education is to be secured.
