title: Leadership experiences in the community for nursing students. Redesigning education for the 21st century.
abstract: To respond to massive changes in health care delivery, nursing curriculum redesign requires that we return to our roots in the community and the visionary leadership of Lillian Wald, whose Henry Street Settlement (1,2) remains a model for community-based leadership. Wald's mission--to serve those in need, wherever they may be found--remains our legacy. But while the challenge of preparing students to function within a multitude of settings is not new, the changes now confronting faculty, students, and the entire health care system are taking place at a startling pace.
