Creating a nursing vision for leadership in genetics.
Today, an increasing number of nurses are applying new genetic knowledge in their practice, research, and educational activities. Just as the evolving precepts of biology, psychology, sociology, medicine, public health, and economics are integral to the practice of quality patient care, so too are those of genomics. The International Society of Nurses in Genetics (ISONG) has taken up the challenge of educating nurses about genetics and about ways such knowledge might be integrated into practice.
