Abstract
This concluding chapter considers what nurse educators can do to design and deliver a nursing curriculum fit for the purpose of preparing nurses for the challenge of contemporary nursing practice. The chapter acknowledges while the challenges facing nurse educators are multifactorial and complex, consideration of alternative pedagogies is an educational imperative for nursing. To this end a model for contemporary nurse education is described, which draws together the key arguments in this book, that is, critical pedagogy as a transformative agent and structured opportunities for volunteering as a means of engaging the nursing curriculum in the co-creation imperative. The case is remade for a mindful consideration of alternative pedagogical approaches as a way forward for nurse education.
