This article examines these trends and implications for nursing education. Faculty are faced with preparing students for future practice that will be more complex and specialized than it now is will be provided in multiple settings and will require extensive knowledge, critical thinking and other cognitive skills, technologic and psychomotor skills, and a valve system for making ethical decisions.
