From the Paper:

"With the twenty-first century now upon us, there is even a greater need to foster an environment wherein there exists a coalition amongst educators, industrial leaders, politicians, regulatory agencies and professional organizations to assist the nursing profession with what may seem as an insurmountable task; namely, to combine nursing education, experience, and learning into a best fit practice for optimal patient care. In order to accomplish this rather challenging task there must exist, on all sides of education, a very discernible understanding of that which constitutes effective learning in a learning environment, whether the environment be a classroom or an actual work setting. However, a state of learning does not exist in a vacuum and two support systems must exist, monitored, and mentored if learning is to take place."
