In numerous, oftentimes seemingly small ways, faculty in schools of
nursing are implementing the recommendations of the Institute of
Medicine report, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing
Health . These practices are the building blocks that will lead to a
future of excellence in nursing education.
Building the Future of Nursing links the NLN mission and its core
value of excellence to this important work. The chapters in this text
(originally accepted for publication in the Innovation Center of the NLN
peer-reviewed research journal, Nursing Education Perspectives)
highlight how faculty are using the recommendations for al types of
nursing education, nationally and internationally.
