The learning profession

Sandra Legg Director of Nursing/Professor of Nursing Policy Designate, Cabrini Hospital, Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia

Sandra Legg believes nursing is on a particular journey, that of learning, and as a professional leader for many years she is still on that continuum of learning

One of the great philosophers said that to practise a discipline is to be a lifelong learner. You never arrive. Real learning gets to the heart of what it means to be human, and through learning we recreate ourselves and extend our capacity to be part of the evolutionary process of life. Peter Senge describes a learning organisation model in which an organisation is continually expanding its capacity to create its future (Senge 1990).
