Start Spreading the News

Abstract

Abstract “Start spreading the news,…I want to be a part of it…” These words from Frank Sinatra's famous song about NLN's hometown — New York, New York — evoke the feelings that emerged from the NLN's Education Summit 2000, held in Nashville in September. This meeting must be represented as nothing short of a “happening” for nursing — a happening that made public and sanctioned our needs as educators: to share new information about curriculum and instruction, to network regarding our lives as educators, to continue our skills development, and to disseminate information about what we have learned as researchers, clinicians, and administrators.
