Abstract:
The National League for Nursing is clear in its mission and its commitment to providing leadership in re-creating the landscape of nursing education. This commitment is grounded in the certainty that excellence in nursing education can be achieved. The initiatives described here are the newest and most exciting programs advanced by the NLN. We look forward to your joining us in this multifaceted effort to advance excellence in all types of nursing programs, and we ask you to remember the words contained in a contemporary piece of advice as you face the challenges inherent in this work: Excellence can be attained if you care more than others think is wise, risk more than others think is safe, dream more than others think is practical, and expect more than others think is possible.
