Abstract
For me, the curriculum revolution means opening up new possibilities for the ways in which we educate our students. It means a new consciousness about the place of nursing in responding to the health-care needs of our nation. It means coming to terms with the conflicts and contradictions that we as educators have felt for at least the last decade; these conflicts lie in our understanding of the crisis in health care and the demands on us to educate caring, critically thinking nurses who can safely practice in both today's world of high-tech disease care and tomorrow's world of true health care. The curriculum revolution means healing our wounds from the divisive issues of the past, and joining together in charting our future.Keywords
