Saga – Patricia Benner Carnegie Study – Part 1

This episode of the NLN Nursing EDge Unscripted Saga track is part one of two examining Patricia Benner's contributions to nursing education through her work with the Carnegie Foundation. The podcast discusses Dr. Benner's leadership in the Carnegie Foundation's study, "Educating Nurses: A Call for Radical Transformation," which aimed to understand the teaching and learning practices of various professions, including nursing. Dr. Benner and her team conducted extensive research with nine nursing schools, focusing on the integration of cognitive, practical, and moral apprenticeships in nursing education. Their findings emphasized the importance of integrating these three domains to better prepare students for professional practice. The episode concludes with a preview of part two, which will delve deeper into the necessary changes to transform nursing education based on Dr. Benner's research.
