Einstein’s statement that imagination is more important than knowledge is explored in considering the importance of imagination in the teaching-learning of nursing. Insights from others on the possible meaning of Einstein’s statement provide a basis for considering opportunities for imagination to flourish in teaching-learning while building on a solid foundation of what is known. Using the humanbecoming teaching-learning model, ideas are offered for faculty consideration.
