title: Educating the nursing workforce in 2000 and beyond.
abstract: Changes in the health care delivery system have comparable impacts on both nursing practice and education, such that tomorrow's nursing practice would best emanate from innovative partnerships between leaders in practice and education. For the foreseeable future, an expert nursing workforce is needed in an expanded form, but an array of challenges to maintaining this workforce are evident. Recent and continuing scientific and technologic advances in health care make the matching of practice and education to evolving trends paramount. Regardless of what the future holds, generative leadership in any realm of practice is essential to move our profession into the forefront of health care.
