We are facing a crisis in nursing not unlike that faced by our foremothers and forefathers: a shortage of nurses that promises to get worse before it gets better. Attrition contributes to this shortage as does competition from other professions. Empowering our graduates is one solution to the crisis. Empowerment will enable us to retain persons in the profession as well as to attract new members. Providing graduates with a sense of the caring and scholarly heritage of the profession is part of that empowerment.
我们正面临一场护理领域的危机，这与我们的先辈们所面临的危机并无不同：护士短缺，而且在好转之前可能会变得更糟。人员流失以及来自其他职业的竞争加剧了这种短缺。赋予我们的毕业生权力是解决这场危机的一个办法。赋予权力将使我们能够留住该行业的人员，并吸引新成员。让毕业生了解该行业的关爱和学术传统就是这种赋权的一部分。
