Abstract
In the final chapter of this fourth edition Knowledge Networks in Nursing are discussed and presented. Building on discussions in Chap. 16 examples from various nursing practice domains are included using specific cases. This chapter demonstrates how nursing as a profession is tackling specific societal challenges by using communities of practice as a potential solution. Participants in the communities of practice are using their knowledge to collectively construct online resources that hold potential to positively impact on citizens’ outcomes in society whilst concurrently advancing the profession of nursing.
Education is not the filling of a pail ..... but the lighting of a fire.
