Emerging nurse leaders are not adequately prepared to handle the pervasive health care problems and threats related to the changing environment. Nurse educators prepare nurses for an extensive variety of roles and responsibilities necessary to meet the health care needs of society. The Penn State College of Nursing implemented several initiatives to support environmental sustainability within the college and nursing education. The inclusion of environmental sustainability in nursing education is foundational if students are to become informed members and emerging leaders of a broader health care team, advocates for conscientious and ethical resource use, and contributors to improved patient outcomes.
新兴的护理领导者在应对与不断变化的环境相关的普遍健康问题和威胁方面准备不足。护理教育者为护士准备了广泛的角色和职责，以满足社会的医疗保健需求。宾夕法尼亚州立大学护理学院采取了多项举措，在学院和护理教育中支持环境可持续性。如果要让学生成为更广泛的医疗保健团队的知情成员和新兴领导者、倡导明智和道德地利用资源以及促进改善患者预后，那么将环境可持续性纳入护理教育是基础。
