title: A vision for nursing education reform.
abstract: Significant changes in nursing education are needed if the profession is to deliver on the promise embedded in Nursing's Agenda for Health Care Reform. In the past, nursing's focus on community-based care was philosophical for the many and actual only for the few who chose to specialize. Now, however, the Agenda for Health Care Reform is being advanced as nursing's alternative vision for health care delivery, and community-based care is increasingly the generalist's rather than the specialist's domain. Preparing all graduates of nursing education programs for community-based care, therefore, becomes the responsibility of all programs and all faculty. Perhaps in varying degrees, but a commonly shared responsibility, nonetheless.
