title: [Insights about the challenge of nursing education administration].
abstract: This article aims to trigger ideas and to point elements to for leaders' development to nursing education administration. While assuming the administrative role is necessary to understand the dimension of the educational process as something that goes beyond the simple knowledge transference. We present issues related to the nursing education dimensions, about the building a political pedagogical guideline to actions of professional development, based in the policies for the nursing curriculum. We mention the role of faculty leaders in the courses external and internal evaluation. We also present the need to redirect nurses' education to prepare them to respond properly (technically, scientifically and politically) to the workforce demand.
