“U.S. nursing programs are not effective in teaching nursing science, natural sciences, social sciences, technology and the humanities. “Developing knowledge that is to be used in a complex, high- stakes practice such as nursing calls for an ongoing dialogue between information and practice, so that students build an evidence base for care and thus learn to make decisions about appropriate interventions for a particular patient.” Educating Nurses: A Call for Radical Transformation (2009)
