This article proposes the need for consideration of status and power issues in nursing research, in theory, and at all levels of nursing education. Including the concept of power in nursing curricula will better prepare nurses to participate in social and political decisions affecting health care. By recognizing the role nurses have played, often in the face of opposition, nursing students will gain a sense of the potential power and strength of nurses. Curricular reform and revision of nursing theories to emphasize the sociopolitical context of nursing may change the socialization of student nurses by stressing autonomy, independence, and confidence. These changes may have a positive impact on recruitment, retention, and on efforts to change the public's perception of nursing.
本文提出，在护理研究、理论以及护理教育的各个层面，都需要考虑地位和权力问题。将权力概念纳入护理课程，将能更好地让护士做好准备，参与到影响医疗保健的社会和政治决策中。通过认识到护士常常在面临反对的情况下所发挥的作用，护理专业学生将感受到护士潜在的权力和力量。课程改革以及对护理理论的修订，以强调护理的社会政治背景，可能会通过强调自主性、独立性和自信心，改变护生的社会化过程。这些变化可能会对招聘、留用以及改变公众对护理的看法的努力产生积极影响。
