title: Are we really committed to lifelong education?
abstract: In this inaugural issue of JCFN, I wish to introduce a column that will appear in each issue. It is the intent of the editor to relate the contents of this column to current issues that have an impact on the nurses who care for children and their families. Your input is crucial if this goal is to be accomplished. I need to hear from you concerning the factors, forces, and foibles that are creating challenges in your practice.
