Abstract
• NURSING PERFORMANCE, or the skills a nurse exhibits in practice, is limited by the extent or level of a nurse's knowledge base; hence, the expression “nurses are what nurses do” probes nurses' levels of satisfaction with their present educational status. • GIVEN THE RAPID CHANGES in health care today, nurses are questioning their level of commitment to lifelong learning in meeting ever‐changing demands. • THIS ARTICLE EXAMINES MEASURES being taken to assess the adequacy of nurses' knowledge base in a field that requires continuous adaptation to change.
