Governed by central and state nursing Acts that are dated and disconnected, and numbers below global norms, nursing education and practice function within caste‐ and gender‐based prejudices in India. Nursing education is fragmented and siloed, and nursing practice is delinked from education. The study strategically relooks at the Acts and highlights pathways that can strengthen, sustain, or weaken nursing education and practice, and suggests how nursing education can be linked to practice.
