The present article discusses the role of nursing education in the advancement of the nursing profession in the context of the three facets of knowledge: generation, dissemination, and application. Nursing is an applied science and the application of knowledge in practice is the ultimate goal of the nursing profession. The reform of the healthcare delivery model requires that nurses acquire and utilize evidence-based clinical knowledge, critical thinking, effective communication, and team collaboration skills in order to ensure the quality of patient care and safety. Therefore, baccalaureate education has become the minimal requirement for pre-licensure nursing education. Schools of nursing are responsible to cultivate competent nurses to respond to the demands on the nursing workforce from the healthcare system. Attaining a master's education in nursing helps cultivate Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) to further expand the roles and functions of the nursing profession in order to promote the quality of care in clinical practice. Nursing faculty and scholars of higher education institutions generate nursing knowledge and develop professional scholarship through research. Attaining a doctoral education in nursing cultivates faculties and scholars who will continually generate and disseminate nursing knowledge into the future.
生成、传播和应用，探讨了护理教育在护理专业发展中的作用。护理是一门应用科学，知识在实践中的应用是护理专业的最终目标。医疗服务模式的改革要求护士获取并运用循证临床知识、批判性思维、有效沟通和团队协作技能，以确保患者护理质量和安全。因此，学士学位教育已成为护理执业前教育的最低要求。护理学院有责任培养称职的护士，以应对医疗系统对护理劳动力的需求。获得护理学硕士学位有助于培养高级执业注册护士（APRN），以进一步扩大护理专业的角色和功能，从而提高临床实践中的护理质量。高等教育机构的护理教师和学者通过研究生成护理知识并发展专业学术成果。获得护理学博士学位培养的教师和学者将在未来持续生成并传播护理知识。
