title: The future of nursing education.
abstract: Market-driven economic policy, dramatic technology developments, changing demographics, and the knowledge explosion are rapidly changing health care and educational institutions as well as creating a climate of continuous rapid change. Nursings' contract with society requires the profession to be responsive to these changes. Four views of changes in nursing practice and therefore nursing education are presented. Changes in the role of faculty and in the nature of the curriculum are described. Twelve strategies for facilitating change are listed.
