title: Contribution of academia to nursing practice in Israel.
abstract: Academic education for nursing has made a major impact on the development of nursing science, on the quality of nursing practice, and on the image of nursing. This was possible because of the close cooperation between education and nurses working in the various health services. Examples from several countries illustrate the process and outcomes of such mutual collaboration.
