Beyond Florence Nightingale: the general professional education of the nurse.

The leadership of nursing has been more concerned with the issue of nursing as a profession on a par with medicine than with the development of an education that would lead to professional status. Nurses must leave nursing, the care of the sick, to advance their careers. The author proposes rigorous preprofessional science preparation and nursing education at the baccalaureate level followed by a clinical internship. Nurses would be able to achieve specialty education either by graduate education or through experience and continuing nursing education. Those nurses who elected careers in management, the social or natural sciences, as researchers or faculty, could build on their strong undergraduate science education. This educational model would require the apprenticeship education of nursing assistants, whose training should be planned by and supervised by nurses in the classroom and on the wards.

The Duke University program for integrating ethics and human values into medical education.

In its second year of development, this program blends cognitive and affective approaches to integrating ethics and human values into medical education. The core of this effort is the establishment of direct and continuing relationships between the four advisory deans and their medical student advisees through small groups that continue throughout the four years of medical school. Clinical correlation seminars, lecture/discussions, the humanities, clinical clerkships, and electives are components of this integration process. Both basic science and clinical faculty members have observed positive changes in the degree and depth of participation, discussion, and interest, as well as in the general attitudes of the students.
