Nursing education with its multiple routes for entry level licensure make it one of the most distinctive in the United States today. From colleges to hospitals, nursing education needs to change to fit how health care is delivered today in the 21st century, meeting the needs of patients with increased complexity. The Future in Nursing report discusses available research on improved patient outcomes when comparing a BSN prepared nurse to an AND prepared nurse. This enforces the IOM”s message of “lifelong learning”. Nurses should always be striving for higher level of education.
Nursing uses theories, research based models and scientific systems to collaborate care provided within the health care systems. Nursing utilizes multiple sciences and knowledge development models to create a diverse education base. The nursing knowledge disciplines use empiric knowledge, esthetics, personal knowledge, and ethics. Nursing science encompasses the relationship between health and illness while addressing biologic, social, and behaviors to seek truth to provide better patient outcomes and enhance better living for all humans. Nursing knowledge expands to create a meaningful, holistic approach to providing health care needs and meeting the challenges of the social aspects of patient care.
“The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health” is an evidence based report developed in 2010 that evaluates the capability of nursing to meet the anticipated demands the health care reform will create. The report makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing. The four key messages of the IOM report are: (1) Nurses should practice to the full extent of their education and training, (2) nurses should achieve higher levels of education and training through an improved education system that promotes seamless academic progression, (3) nurses should be full partners with physicians and other health care professionals in redesigning health care in the United States, and (4) effective workplace planning and policy making require better data collection and information infrastructure. (Institute of Medicine, 2011, p.1) The IOM report impacts the future of many aspects of nursing, including: nursing education, nursing practice, and role of the nurse as a leader. The IOM report has a significant impact on
BSN prepared nurses are also more likely to continue their education and receive maters or doctorate degrees. Nursing education needs to be made more accessible and seamless for working nurses who would like to continue their education. This will require more nursing

Title: The 2010 IOM Report’s Impact on the Future of Nursing Lu-Anna Godett Grand Canyon University: NUR-430V May17th, 2015 Introduction The writer will study The Institute of Medicine (IOM) report titled: "The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health," with a focus on the transforming practice transforming education, and the transforming leaderships. The author focuses on how the Institute of Medicine’s report and it’s impact on nursing education and the practice of nursing particularly on the field of primary care nursing, and what changes can be made to your practice to facilitate the goals set by the IOM report. The writer will also looks at the impact of the report on the nurse’s leadership role. Nursing Education in the IOM Report Discussed in the Institute of Medicine (2010), which states that, nurses should practice to the highest extent of their educational level and abilities, and should also achieve highest levels of education and training available, by improving their knowledge through education and improve their academic progress. Nurses can also build partnerships with doctors and collaborate with health care workers, to help improve the health care system in the United States.
The Institute of Medicine: The Future of Nursing Report discusses so many positive key messages to improve nursing care; but three seem to have the greatest impact in my mind, in regards to the future of nursing, the transformation of the: nursing practice, nursing education and nurse’s role. Nursing Practice According to the IOM’s report, nurses should practice to the full extent of their education and training; however due to state regulations and licensing, scope-of-practice is faced with many limitations. Gennaro (2012) states, “A number of different initiatives are underway to en-sure that nurses are able to practice to their full ability... The goal of these endeavors is to ensure that advanced practice nurses are able to practice to the full scope of their education.” I constantly ask myself, is the juice worth the squeeze? Meaning is the end result worth the hardship I’m about to
Nurse managers must not only fulfill their daily responsibilities, they must lead the change demanded that will secure a bright future for American health care. The Nurse Manager Inventory Tool captures the skills and behaviors that are envisioned for the successful nurse manager. This inventory allows the nurse manager to perform a self-evaluation that can be paired with the nurse manager’s supervisor’s assessment to create an individualized professional development plan. The inventory is based on the three domain model initially developed by three national nursing associations1. The successful nurse manager must gain expertise in all three domains.
The recommendations that were suggested by the report would improve the nurses’ workforce and improve patient outcomes. One of the recommendations in the report was the need that nurses should continue their training and education, and practice to their full extent and that many of the scope of practice barriers be removed, in
Increasing RN-BSN Enrollments: Facilitating Articulation Through Curriculum Reform Elizabeth Lamanna Chamberlain College of Nursing NR351: Transitions in Professional Nursing March 2011 Increasing RN-BSN Enrollments: Facilitating Articulation through Curriculum Reform Introduction Incorporating a higher level of critical thinking has been thought to foster the foundation of AD nurses, and increase the roles they’ve traditionally held. This paper will serve to summarize Janine Spencer’s article, “Increasing BSN Enrollments: Facilitating Articulation through Curriculum Reform”, published in the Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing, July 2008. “Research has shown that patient outcomes can be attributed to higher levels of nursing education.” (Spencer p 307) Both sides of this issue will be presented. Summary Aiken, Clarke, Cheung, Sloane, & Silber, (as cited in Spencer 2008) suggest following research that post surgical patients mortality rates were affected by the education of the nurses, and as a result more favorable outcomes are achieved. According to Janine Spencer, the BSN incorporated theory based practice which “encourages a broader view of alternatives and an expanded understanding of patient and client behaviors.” (Spencer p 308) She continues explaining how part of the BSN curriculum involves community health nursing, which provides a window into patients lives outside the confines of a hospital.
