abstract: The notion of'intelligence and humane choice' is addressed in this article. The only way nursing can be influential in the world of healthcare is questioned by looking at a commitment to learning, development and research. The article aims to challenge issues about nurse education and explore ways in which the nursing profession can move debates about the values underpinning the preparation of undergraduate nurses.
