title: Exploring an asset-based approach to nursing.
abstract: This article explores a different perspective on perceived "failings" in the nursing profession. It takes learning from an asset-based community development approach called Connecting Communities to find out whether the problems and solutions that we observe in vulnerable communities can help us better understand what might be happening in the nursing community. The ideas presented are evidence-based community development theories that are currently used across the world and are now influencing the commissioning for health improvement/health inequalities.
