• Resumen

  • The age-old battle of what to include in nursing education continues. Now this battle extends itself into nurse practitioner education with a slightly different twist. Abandoning nursing theory-guided education for the medical model leaves nurse practitioner education flat. In this author�s academic experience, nursing theory was included in the curriculum. The exemplar presented is testament to the distinction and significance of including nursing theory-guided education. The unique difference between nurse practitioners and physicians is the use of theory in practice.
