This article projects some of the impacts of the almost overwhelming expansion of all forms of science on the health care system as cues to the type of education and professional careers that will be needed by nurses to keep in step with the surging change. With everyone being in a state of instant obsolescence, nurses will have to be open to rapid change (as will all other types of clinicians) to utilize this unending flow of new science, both physical and behavioral, to the benefit of each individual patient in the most sophisticated format for each. It is as strong an ethical issue as can be faced because it demands internal commitment.
本文预测了各种科学形式几乎势不可挡的扩张对医疗保健系统的一些影响，以此为线索，揭示护士为跟上急剧变化所需的教育类型和职业发展方向。在人人都面临迅速过时的情况下，护士（以及所有其他类型的临床医生）必须乐于接受快速变化，以便以最复杂的形式利用源源不断的物理和行为科学新成果，造福每一位患者。这是一个极为严峻的伦理问题，因为它需要内心的坚守。
