Isabel Maitland Stewart Research Conference
The Stewart Conference on Research in Nursing was established in 1953 in honor of Isabel Maitland Stewart (1878-1963), Director of the Department of Nursing Education at Teachers College (TC) from 1925-1947. Prior to assuming this position, she served as the Asssistant to the Director, M. Adelaide Nutting. Miss Stewart developed the first course dealing specifically with the teaching of nursing, a course that eventually was expanded to become an entire program for the preparation of teachers of nursing at TC. The Stewart Research Conference provides a forum for all nurses, including TC students, alumni and health care professionals to share their research with nursing's scholarly community and to learn about the latest trends and issues in research, education, and practice.

The nursing profession has witnessed a revolution in education, realizing that traditional teaching strategies are quickly becoming obsolete, and being replaced by electronic substitutes. Moreover, we are faced with a profound teacher shortage which forces the use of part-time faculty and practicing nurses not as an exception, but more the rule.
Institutions, including hospitals, serve the most compromised and critically-ill patients. The nursing skill set must adjust to this new level of acuity and realize that patients are full participants in decisions about their care. The professionmust address whether today’s nurse graduates are up to these challenges or is more sophistication needed than the current “entry-level” credential to serve complex health needs and broader population health.
Closely linked to information technology are its counterparts of artificial intelligence and evidence-based practice. These issues represent many opportunities and determine what the RN will feel obligated to bring to the patient on their behalf. Further, information in all its forms, is already a key element in determining practice liability for the nurse.
The profound nature of these challenges builds a case for serious investigation of the past as we envision the future. There are lessons to be learned through past experiences, and even more from the international community whereTeachers College nursing alumni and other US RNs are strategically present in large numbers.
