Nursing Education: A Past Reflection for Better Future

My article provides a vision after 47 years of experience as a psychiatric nurse educator.
It presents an analytical vision of a journey since the 70th to the present time, discussing the student journey from admission to Nursing faculty till graduation after the Internship year.
          On admission,  Egyptian Students join the nursing school appealed by the working opportunities compared to other graduates of different  faculties university.They join the school without a concrete concept to "What is nursing as a profession" and its realistic capabilities, personal characteristics as well as professional commitments of nursing education and practice?  .
     They enroll with an adolescent related spirit of altruism, which is the usual disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others, kindness, humanity, sensitivity, and a naïve sense of right and wrong.
     By time, Students undergo a nursing education programs’ modifications and development that helps them acquire intellectual and practical skills in addition to transferable skills concerning the profession.
