Strategies to Produce New Nurses for a Changing Profession

It is my pleasure to share, Strategies to Produce New Nurses for a Changing Profession (PDF), a policy brief on innovation in nursing education prepared by the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL). The brief was commissioned by the Excelsior College School of Nursing to inform stakeholders and policy makers in the arena of nursing education about important factors influencing the profession of nursing.

We are excited about the current national focus on nursing education and look forward to ongoing dialog as we work together to shape the future of nursing across our country and the globe.

Sincerely,

Mary Lee Pollard, PhD, RN
Dean, Excelsior College School of Nursing
