- Abstract
The mission of this article is to turn the clock back and compare the nursing education scene of the 1960s to contemporary educational practice. Specifically, the authors will re-examine their 2002 OJIN article, a discussion of the rationale and impact of the American Nurses' Association's 1965 statement on the education of nurses, in light of the recent statements of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN, 2003, 2004). As in the earlier article, the sentinel event examined is the enduring impact of the American Nurses Association's First Position Paper on Education for Nursing (ANA, 1965). The authors conclude this article by asking: Will nursing's most recent proclamations (AACN), which shift attention to advanced practice and raise the educational bar, affect the balance of power in healthcare?
