title: Learning from patients.
abstract: Patients and relatives often assume nurses have a higher level of knowledge than they actually possess. In the search for a professional body of knowledge, nurses may underestimate the valuable lessons patients can teach them. The nursing press may exacerbate the theory-practice gap by underrepresenting the experiences of patients, careers and relatives.
