Abstract

In this paper I will present my vision on the most relevant aspects to be looked at as a reference for the elaboration of the project “Degree in Nursing”. I will base my presentation on an analysis of my own personal experiences, already described in Part I of this paper. I will first talk about orientations to be overcome for a new pedagogic model and will then go on to explain the challenges and concerns occurring in 2007 to adequate the nursing degree offered by Spanish Universities, following the guidelines elaborated by the Ministry of Education and Culture and the foreseeable abolition of Royal Decrees 55 and 56 of Grade and Post-Grade. Concern reflections and hopes transformed into the nursing and social reality.
