As a continuation of its work and of the seminar on nursing sciences education in 2014, the “Association de recherche en soins infirmiers” (Arsi) organized a seminar on June 3-4, 2016 in Nantes entitled: “Nursing: Perspectives and Foresights.” More than fifty participants from the Francophone area representing various sectors of practice—clinical, teaching, management, and students—gathered to debate and produce benchmarks to support the development of nursing sciences in France and to set out future directions for clinical practice and training. The successive sessions made it possible to reflect, compare opinions, make proposals, and to identify the terms of the issues facing care and nursing knowledge today and the methodological elements relating to foresight. At the end of this very creative seminar, new avenues of reflection emerged, shifting our usual perspective of the nursing profession. Orientations for training and practice were defined with different stakes according to level of training and professional commitment. The strong links between the professional, scientific, and academic discipline have also been clarified, highlighting the importance of maintaining high theoretical and scientific levels of requirement, rigorous clinical practice, strong professional commitment, and effective leadership.
